[Zope-PTK] PTK questions

[sean@horse101.com]

Hi,

I am trying to setup the PTK to be useful while also being fairly new 
to Zope and the PTK.  I seemed to have fixed the members 
index_html file (except for the "admin" user who does not have and 
index_html and so yields and error) with another's posted fix, and 
and I am now trying to resolve some other questions...

1)
When I try to delete test members by deleting 
them from the MEMBERS folder, I get the error that thier 
index_html file cannot be deleted (the index_html is listed in each 
member's folder):
Error is...

Error Type: ValueError
Error Value: Uncatalog of absent id
'/IntraPort/Members/membername/index_html'

2)
Where/how do you make it so that all new members are 
automatically given contributor rights? (I don't want to have to 
publish everyone's stuff in small company intranet)

In general, I am trying to provide enough security so that nobody 
but members can see the site.  

I could take a few approaches-
a) I could make it so that visitors can have enough rights to join, 
but not to see any data.
b) I could make it so that nobody can even see the index_html 
screen unless they are members (which means I would have to 
create their user account myself before they can access) This is 
starting to look like the easiest method, because then I can give 
them contributor rights.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
