Did you do an Zope upgrade recently?  Why do you say its "odd" what was
normal before?

David

I upgraded my zope from 2.6.4 a couple months ago, but only installed localfs yesterday.
Being new to localfs, I don't really know if it is odd or normal, but it seems "odd".
The unprivileged (but "authenticated") zope user is asked to reenter their login details (basic http auth) when they try to click on the link to the localfs object, and not allowed to view it. But if i grant the user the zope "Manager" role, they are let in.

Hope this clarifies the problem.
