Another couple of simpleton problems, I think. Direct help, and pointers to existing information, will be very welcome. Installation: - Zope 2.1.6 on Win NT4 SP5 - Zope default installation to D: - starting as a service - var directory has Everyone=All permissions 1) Although I can view Ok as Anonymous, I can't get Zope to recognize any username/password combination other than the superuser. I have defined users at the top level and in the folder where my pages are. When I get to a page that requires authentication, only the superuser pair will work. Those from acl_users keep returning the login prompt until it expires. 2) Although I have set the permissions for Anonymous to permit "change Properties" in the folder I continue to get a "manage_Properties" permissions error when I try to exercise this permission. Thank you for any and all clues. Geoff Gardiner
