[Zope] Ownership and security

[Andy McKay]

One key point I was missing here was that I am using GUF. I patched GUF to
do:

    def getUserById(self, id, default=''):
        """Return the user corresponding to the given id.
        """
        try: return self.getUser(id)
        except: raise 'LoginRequired', loginScreen

Doing anything with the Security Model makes me nervous. Especially since I
fiddled with default=_marker from the original User.py.

This seems to work but any feedback from security guru's would be
appreciated.
