[Zope] User Folder default behavior

[Charlie Reiman]

Okay. That seems reasonable. But it brings up a second question: Is it
supposed to work?

I turned on encrytption, then clicked on "update passwords". I was then
completely unable to sign on with any of those accounts. I had to create the
emergency user, turn off encryption, and change the user passwords to force
them to store as clear text again.

I've done this on two different servers so far with identical results (both
2.5.1). Does anyone have this turned on and working?
