[Zope] Log Out Problems With Cookie Authentication (& LDAPUserFolder)

[Aseem Mohanty]

try this:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set ('form_action', '/test2/acl_users/user_logout')">
<a class="menu_link" href="&dtml-form_action;">LOGOUT</a><br>

what you wrote didnt work for me either so I kinda copied the form way 
of doing it.
Quite frankly I dont know why this works and the other doesnt... but if 
anybody knows I would be grateful for the explanation..
