Interesting, thanks for the info. I did some weird tests I already had a 
acl_users/jerome user. I created an additional levinux/acl_users/jerome user 
with a different password and different roles. The path information allows me 
to distinguish between objects created by one or the other.

But what is the equivalent for AUTHENTICATED_USER? How do I know which 
"jerome" is visiting my site? I know that as long as my permissions are set 
properly, it does not really matter for security, but I am curious. I would 
like to show this in the site admin screens.

Anecdote: I find it interesting how Zope will try to match my password with 
all "jerome" users before deciding which account I want to log into... :-)
