[Zope] etcUserFolder and multiple roles

[Chris McDonough]

Postscript:  I actually ended up just putting the smbUserFolder into the
root and assigning local roles to users yanked from this userfolder in each
subfolder.  Its not as kludgey as I thought it would be.  Pretty nice,
actually.  I may later rework it so I don't have to emulate the group
memberships of the NT domain using local roles (it's one more thing to
manage, and I'm lazy, eventually I'll come up with something Rube
Goldberg-ish to automatically assign roles based on fields in the smbUsers
file).  But--as they say in Washington--for now this works.

pps - the <sniiiip> cracked me up...

Thanks,

Chris

Oof.  I knew you were going to come up with something elegant and
totally embarrassing.  I'll just take my ball and go home now.

That works.  Thanks!  :)

Wow, I had to sketch this out on a breakfast napkin... <whew>

Why not define the role PrivateUsers in the root folder and only assign
it in the Private folder?  Then, let PrivateUsers see everything in the
root folder.
