[Zope] users managing their own user details

[Tom Cameron]

Thankd for this Mike,
It is exactly what I want.

I do think it unusual that zope does not have such a basic and common
function built in to the system.

One possible solution would be to modify the useredit form in acl_users to
ask users for thier existing password when setting a new one. That way you
could let them have access to the acl_users folder and be confident that
they will only change their own details. Not quite perfect but much better.

Tom
