Greetings Zopistas !

I have to implement a login-system for our site, pulling
usernames and passwords from a database (Solid at
the moment, but we'll probably move to Interbase soon).
new users should be able to register through the web,
without writing to data.fs.
Most of the site should be accessible for anonymous users ,
while some sections should be restricted. Cookie based
authentication is a neccessity..


I've looked around among the different userfolders on
Zope.org, but it is not clear to me which one would suit us
best..

GUF and LoginManager look like the way to go, but which one
would be easiest to implement with those requirements ?

What is the State of The LoginManager ? - is it correct that
it is meant as a part of the PortalToolkit ? -Will it
function separate from the PTK ??
