[Zope] User home directories

We have a /homes folder where I intend to allow LAN users to have their
own home directories.
So, for this folder, I've changed permission so that "Owner" can see
management views, edit DTML, add DTML, Folders, images, etc.
Then, as each user, I create a folder for them (so that they own it.)
They now can manage their folders, edit, etc. perfectly.
[ with the oddity that Add ODBC Connection always shows up, BTW. It seems
to have a wrong permission setting. ]
My users can "Add User Folder", so they can add an acl_users folder so
that they can create private areas, etc.; however, they *can't* seem to
edit the user's directly: clicking on the acl_users only shows them the
Undo/Security options, not the contents tab of acl_users. By directly
entering the URL, they can get to the contents tab, and add/edit users.
However, I can't figure out how my users can change the permissions of
subfolders in their home directory. When they get into a
intended-to-be-private subdir, and ask to see the permissions for it (so
that they could take View away from Anon), they see the permission
categories but EVERYTHING is unchecked.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in this version (2.3.0/Windows)?
Is there a document somewhere that describes user folders in a non-portal
environment?
Thanks for *any* help!
