Hi, we use the etcUserFolder. The etcUsers is a copy of the /etc/shadow readable by the UID Zope runs under. All of our user can login and are happy, except one of them. His entry in the etcUsers looks equal to the other user entries <username>:<crypted password>::::::: Zope brings me this error message: --------------------- Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. ValueError Sorry, a Zope error occurred.
