We have a portal using which users use our compute resources. In zope we use NIS authentication for validating a user.We have many things that requires root/logged in user privledeges.One example is of a 'file system explorer'.In this I have used ZFSpath product.This explorer is used by users to navigate through their home areas and select what ever file they want.As of now I have changed some functions of ZFSpath class which I was using so that they can be executed as the logged in user(since zope does not have rwx permissions on other user's directory).This is just one case.Hope I have cleared myself well.
You are playing a mind numbingly dangerous game. Good luck to you, but I hope people on this list refrain from further helping you point that large canon at your left toe... Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
