Hi normaly, zope is started as root and runs as user 'nobody' or a predefined user 'zuser'. I use zope (Zope 2.3.3) in the second way on SUSE Linux7.2. Zope is connected to Apache. The 'zuser' is in the user groups A, B, C, ... The membership in group 'A' is defined in the passwd file ('user's primary group'), the other memberships are defined in the group file. My problem is, that z2.py reads only the 'user's primary group' in the passwd file. But I need for full functionality all the grouprights of the user 'zuser'. Is there a possibilty to fix this? Do I have to change z2.py, when, how (I only know how to write 'python') z2.py (the part where the gid is set) : : # Try to set uid to "-u" -provided uid. # Try to set gid to "-u" user's primary group. # This will only work if this script is run by root. try: import pwd try: try: UID = string.atoi(UID) except: pass gid = None if type(UID) == type(""): uid = pwd.getpwnam(UID)[2] gid = pwd.getpwnam(UID)[3] elif type(UID) == type(1): uid = pwd.getpwuid(UID)[2] gid = pwd.getpwuid(UID)[3] else: raise KeyError try: if gid is not None: try: os.setgid(gid) except OSError: pass os.setuid(uid) except OSError: pass except KeyError: zLOG.LOG("z2", zLOG.ERROR, ("can't find UID %s" % UID)) except: pass : : Thanks Best regards Ulrich _______________________________________________________________ Ulrich G.
