For those who didn't see my initial message... I was finding that I had to
keep reloading the pages at my Zope portal in order to keep the proper
membership information displayed. In other words, I would log in as
'wilson' go to a different page and possibly find that it said that I was
'guest'. Hitting reload corrected the problem.

I tried this and found the same problem with Zope.org. I guess that our
Novell BorderManager proxy is caching Zope.org too. I'm not very familiar
with Border Manager, but I suppose we could fix it by telling 'Border' to
stop caching zope.org and my Zope portal. That seems like a brute force
kludge, however. Is there a way that Zope itself could handle this?
