Slightly off topic, but related. Does this mean that the everything on local
file system is protected natively in zope. Short of things like buffer
overflows. What I mean is, can I somehow muck up security in Zope and
compromise my local system, or will only zope objects be affected?
 I'm an absolute newbie to zope, and still trying to get a handle on the
architecture.

Thanks,
