Dang! I was hoping that someone would say that (and then hoping that someone
*wouldn't* say that). I guess LoginManager is the most versatile
authentication scheme we have for Zope, but every time I've tried to get my
head around it .... Kaboom!

Thanks for the pointer Jim - I guess I'll have to look at it again, I've
tried using a pluggable brain with the UserDB UserQuery SQL method, but it
doesn't seem to work (the combined new roles field is not being returned).

Cheers
Tone.
