Strange/interesting advice. Does anyone on this list do this?

I just (a) run WebDAV source on Zope under port 9800 (-W 9800 in start
script) and (b) connected with WebDAV client (like Dreamweaver) to that
port. So instead of writing to

  http://localhost:8080/FileLib/index_html/source.html

I'm writing to

  http://localhost:9800/FileLib/index_html

and things work fine (except, of course, for the fact that non-managers
can't seem to do this, regardless of what permissions I give them. Sigh.
See my message from earlier this week about ZPT, WebDAV, and non-managers)

HTH,
