Hi Danny,
I don't think the question applies, as you are prettymuch free to build a
UserSource to anything you want.  Of course, with that freedom comes
aggrevation.  ;-/  There is ready documentation on the Zope site for
interfacing LM to SMB for authentication.  I've gotten it working with
Postgres (with crypted passwords no less!)  It took me a couple of weeks on
and off to finally get that going.  Yes, it was painful, especially having
no prior experience with GUF (or much experience with Zope, for that
matter...)  I've not made it a very high priority, but I'm working on a
LoginManager/PostgreSQL walkthrough hoping that I might save someone else
some grief.  That info should be easy to translate for any other datasource
full of users you might have in mind.  Interested?
