[Zope-dev] Fw: apparent problems with LocalFS after zope upgrade

[Jonothan Farr]

I'm getting reports of some very strange behavior with Zope 2.2.5 using the
LocalFS product, which seems to involve the authentication mechanism somehow.
I'm rather at a loss where to even begin troubleshooting here. If anyone has any
suggestions they would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
