We are using Zope 2.2.2 on IRIX 6.5.x using ProxyPass in Apache to virtual host a domain that accesses its files from a folder off of the root. At the time of the development my cohort here had the only root access, I had only manager access to the specific folder in which I was doing the development. Yesterday, I set up a new domain in the same fashion, ProxyPass from Apache to a different folder off the root, to do this I needed root access, so I was added, and not feeling I needed a local access account we removed my local information from the user folder. At this point, all the files I created as the local user were, of course, still owned by that user. However, this user did not now exist, in reply Zope asked anybody trying to access these files to authenticate, even if they had already. I then added the username again in the local folder and it assumed ownership of all the files, which circumvented the issue. I reproduced this in 2.2.2, I was unable to do so in 2.3.0. Is this a bug, a feature, a freak occurrence and was it fixed or did it just "go away" as some things in the programming world do? TIA, ______________________________________________ Jeffrey D.
