[Zope] help before I have to dump zope

[Pierce, Scott]

I have a large number of DTMLFile objects generated within a product
implemented like so:
index_html = DTMLFile('www/index_html', globals())
standard_html_header = DTMLFile('www/standard_html_header', globals())
Tracks = DTMLFile('www/show_tracks', globals())

I can access these DTMLFile objects like so:
http://someurl:8082/MyProduct/Tracks

however, basic authentication does not follow, meaning, I always get
anonymous user even after the browser prompts for credentials and I supply
them.

I am using zope 2.3.3 on a solaris box.  I can't access these pages without
the proper credentials, providing a user known in acl_folder with the proper
role for viewing; however, the information is not provided in the REQUEST
object so that I can use the user/role/permission info programmatically.
