While we're on the subject of unsupported products and what's for download on the website: i went through the stuff under "contributed software" a couple days ago and saw some really neat stuff, but it seems that development just stopped mid-way and of course there never is any indication of conflicts with Zope 2.0. one product i want to mention in this regard is NotMail, which i would love to put on my server. if any of the authors who were so nice as to make them available for all of us could make a quick statement as to their products' Zope 2.0 compliance and maybe add if the product is still being developed or not? that would be a great help i think :) Jens

Hi all, Is there any more info on using UserDB to do cookie authentication available anywhere (I've tried the source, there's too much Zope Zen going on there for me). I want to be able to have anything up to 12,000 users authenticated and I get the impression that there will be a user icon made for each of them in the acl_users folder.
Specifically, I don't seem to be able to logout (go back to being an anonymous user), and I'd like to embed the authentication form into my (currently non-authenticated) output if possible.
There is probably a bug in the logout code. I seem to remember there being some sort of Y2K issue with cookies and UserDB too, but someone might have fixed it, but I don't know if it got checked in, and I doubt it got updated on the website.
Ok, so *calling all UserDB Users* lets get this UserDB thing resolved down to one bugfixed version of the software. This really needs to be a community effort, since it's an unsupported product.
Has anyone seen fixed the bug Tony is seeing? If we get this resolved, I'll put the bug fixed version on the website ASAP.
