From: "Jerome Alet" <alet@unice.fr>
I've just seen the same message, so I've browsed the files with cvsweb, and now I better understand Michel's concerns: it seems as External methods run completely unrestricted by default, which I ignored until I read this document.
..and what of Scripts (Python) Do they inherit Zope permissions model.? Security should be addressed. I suppose one could extend 'Exernal Methods' to create a 'External Zshell Methods' But Jerome please don't let this slow you down writing Zshell functions now. Let's just agree that Zshell is a really powerful Essential Zope tool. An important concept which definitely needs developing. And it assumes greater responsibility than the default TTW interface, and wears a large sysadmin warning label! I have been using ZJavatelnetSSH Product quite often recently for sheer convenvince of remote Zope sysadmin. http://dev.zope.org/Members/dshaw/ZJavaTelnetSSH Webmin is another tool.. http://www.webmin.com/webmin/ How safe | how dangerous?? I really don't see the difference. What am I missing? ./Jason ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']
