[Zope] NewBie DTMl Help

[S K Rahman]

Thanx for the reply,

Unfortunately it does not works as well. Some Error "global name 
'password' is not defined" problem.
I tried hunting the current zope apps looking for some info but it seems 
all of them reply of the zope auth method.
Just in case remember any link with the information I am looking for 
please let me know.

BTW is there any revelant call for revelant thing like dtml-call that 
returns the value from ZSQL method that can me compared?

Regards
