My thoughts exactly. It's worth a try anyway at this stage, but I have not had 
time for that yet.

No, no, and NO again. docLogin noes NOT require permission.
I can access it without problem. If I cold not this would probably be a simple 
problem, and I would not be posting to the list.

I am sorry, but I have been down that path numerous times, and it is all in 
order.

I remove 'view' permission for anonymous from a folder or index.html file way 
below acl_users, and I get the described problem when I try to access it. 
I restore that permission, and everything displays properly. 
If I go to acl_users/docLogin directly, I can log in with cookies, and 
everything works fine. I believe that neatly eliminates the concerns you 
raise here.

To be frank I really think my first post described the situation quite 
precisely. 

I do not think exUserFolder is faulty in any way, except possibly by our own 
modification, but that is what I have to work with to try to figure out what 
is going on.

I was hoping it would be a product that many would be familiar with, and that 
as such it wold be a good reference point to grapple with the more general 
principles. Noting beats assistance from the author of course,
but please don't insist on treating this as a newbee question :)
