I want to add support for groups to my zope site, but I don't know whats the best way to go about it. There are so many groups products available. Could someone please suggest which ones works the best (for them) and why. Idealy I would like to import my groups from a unix group file.
I'm not going to say what's best, but I use GroupUserFolder and it works very well. To use the Unix groups you would need a UserFolder that makes entries in the groups file look like users. Put this in the Groups folder of a GRUF acl_users folder and you got your groups. I don't know of anything that will do this for you, but you can probably do it easily with SimpleUserFolder or ExtensibleUserFolder (XUF). If you don't care about synchronization with /etc/groups then it should be even easier to write a script (external method) to make new groups from the entries in that file. --jcc -- "My point and period will be throughly wrought, Or well or ill, as this day's battle's fought."
