Hi, Because of the way the Web works, there's no real way to determine when someone leaves your site. It's probably best to compare the server to a vending machine. Someone comes along, puts some money into the machine and pushes a button (initiates a transaction with the server), and walks away (closes the connection). The vending machine for the short period of time that the money goes down the slot and the button is pushed does some work and gives them a snack (some HTML or some other textual data), but it doesn't know or care whether the guy is hanging around afterwards. When the guy comes back to the vending machine, it likewise doesn't "remember" him. This conundrum is often solved by "sessioning" products, which take a stab at attempting to identify a particular user between requests for some period of time defined by "inactivity" (time between requests by the same user). There are several sessioning products for Zope: SQLSession, FSSession, HappySession, and CoreSessionTracking. You can find these on Zope.org.

Can somebody tell me how to track if someone "leaves" the Zopeserver..?
I am going to use it for some login-feature....
