Failed domain controller has killed my site
Hi, I've been happily using exUserFolder for ages, but today it's screwed my site completely. We have been authenticating against a domain controller, but this has died today, and as a result, I can no longer access the folders in which the XUF user folder had 'control', and therefore can't access the XUF to change DC... I've tried as an emergency user, but that just throws: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: _getCacheableDict for accessing any folders below the XUF Anyone _any_ ideas on how to fix this? I've got a lot of annoyed users at the moment... We're using Zope 2.6.2, and exUserFolder latest build on Linux.

Can you FTP as the emergency user and delete the XUF? Any chance of getting the old Domain Controller back in place? May ZShell can do something... -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck invalid/expired pgp subkeys? use subkeys.pgp.net as keyserver! one has to multiply thoughts to the point where there aren't enough policemen to control them. -- stanislaw jerzey lec
