While others have complained about not being able to get authorised login access to Zope management functions, I have the opposite problem: it no longer requests authorisation no matter what. Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? Clue: (?) I was playing around with zpasswd to change the super user password to something a bit less cryptic and easier to remember. At first I couldn't get it to recognise the new password, and the old password didn't work either. So I shut down and restarted Zope, and changed the superuser password in the "access" file a couple more times. Some time during this process, Zope decided it was OK for an anonymous user to be a manager. I'm currently evaluating Zope for production use. I hope it's my stupidity and not Zope that's causing the problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. David Trudgett
