[Zope-CMF] Plone & CMFLDAP

[David (Hamish) Harvey]

I don't think there's a fundamental reason why users without a member area 
shouldn't have access to preferences. The preferences are stored in the 
portal_memberdata tool which exists independent of the member area. Of 
course, if you don't *want* to allow people to change their preferences 
that's a different matter.
