FYI.

I have been using this patch as is up and to including Zope 2.4.3
without any troubles.

At the time, I hadn't received any feedback (however, I'm not blaming
anyone). I also never posted this to the collector before.  Should one
of us post this?

Just to be safe ... You shouldn't use this entire patch unless your
server is behind apache or a proxy server and best if protected by a
firewall. It could open a potential security leak if you use the
"domains" field for authentication and the zope server is not
protected by apache.
