Maybe we should solve this problem once for all by designing 
a Userfolder-Product which can authenticate users with data coming from

/etc/*
NIS
SMB
LDAP
IMAP
Radius
Databases
...

kind of PAMUserFolder with a plugin-architecture. This should really be
a standard Zope UserFolderProduct.

well, just my 2 cents
