You can subclass it and enrich it with other information, but you will [...] instances of it (since the original user-folder only creates standard users). I did this and it worked fine. Anyway, I changed to guf because I needed fancy login screens and stuff like that ;)
LoginManager gives you GUF-like capabilities, and also supports using your own classes for users. Create a ZClass that derives from LoginUser and choose it on the Storage tab of the UserSource. You can do some really interesting things with this. As a simple example, give your ZClass an index_html method that displays the user's profile, and you can go to http://www.yoursite.com/zope/acl_users/jsmith and see the profile for that user.
