I guess I'm wondering why User is available as a base class if you can't use it to provide a modified user...
Any ideas anyone?
In theory, it is possible to modify GUF to allow pluggable users (and you thought a pluggable brain was cool). That part has never been written, however, as I had more urgent things to do :-)
I think that is for the purpose of a "roll-your-own" user folder, since User-class offers some vital methods for authentication I think that standard acl-user-folders are, for the sake of simplicity limited to add standard user-objects.
Sorry about it having the same name as the default User object - I didn't pick up that the ZClass creation would of course have a flat namespace and its probably too late to change it now :-( -- ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
