GUF has problems and we have to face it. If a product takes a few days to install, if a product locks newbies up and send them into panic attack, it has problems. Please just look up past postings in the mailing list... headers like "Bad... very bad" and "GenericUserFolder has locked me out" are just heartbreaking. :)
If I have time I'll find something better, or make something better. :)
I have not touched the authentication machinery yet so I must rely on other Zopistas efforts. There is a LoginManager which is part of the PTK. Seems to be well thought out, and it seems to provide a very general and broad solution to the authentication problem, but I have no idea whether or how it works. Another useful add on is for GUF to ship a complete example of its usage based on standard Zope objects (Folders etc). Maybe as an exported folder that the user can optionally import.
