Is it possible to smoothly migrate accounts and passwords from Apache to Zope?

More details: I keep Apache accounts in some file of the format

username:encoded_password

where username is plaintext username and encoded_password is the password encoded in the normal Unix way (via crypt function).... There is a GUF (Generic User Folder) HowTo that explains how to use encryted passwords in the same way as you do.

After you have set up GUF (very good explanation in the HowTo), all you need to do is place your "username,password" pairs into the database. A small Python script can be used for this. It probably would use the DB Api to control the database. Dieter
