| Greetings,

Hola!

| Now, referring to figure 1 (above :-), changes to security settings | for the acl_test folder are having no effect on access to index_html. | Only when I change the security settings on index_html itself, can I | control access to it.

Can it have something to do with acquirement of permission settings? (The leftmost column on the security tab).

Hi Morten, Yes. It's acting as if those little boxes were not checked! :) As I was replying to Jeff in a prior message, the mystery goes deeper. I grabbed a fresh copy of the latest CVS version, built it, set a superuser password and ran it. I then tried to visit the default index_html "Welcome to Zope" page and was presented with a BASICAUTH type login box. If I explicitly set anonymous View permissions for the index_html (Welcome to Zope) page, then I get in with no login as expected. That isn't normal is it? Root folder objects would appear to be having the same security setting acquisition problems as I was finding previously with sub-folders and LoginManager. I realize I'm on the bleeding edge of Zope running the CVS version, but I heard the 2.2.3 version is due out RSN and figured maybe a little "new version" pain now would be easier than upgrade pain later. I'd sure rather be saying "Here's a patch" than just "It's broke", but alas I don't grok Python that well yet. ("It's broke" still offers *some* value, right? :-) To the Zope developers: It seems pretty clear that Zope v2.2.cvs is broken in regards to security settings acquisition. Should I post to zope-dev, or is there already a sufficient awareness/understanding of the problem?
