It's not immature, just unforgiving :-) GUF lets get down to the bare
bones of an authentication system. Unfortunately this tends to mean you 
have to build it all up from scratch. 

Sometime RSN I'll finish a the one I'm working on that uses postgresql
and I'll bundle that up as a package for people to use, or use as an
example. Not for a few weeks yet, though.

Look in the download section of www.zope.org for one. The first
question, though - what do you intend to authenticate out of? A
database? LDAP?
