[ZODB-Dev] ZEO Authentication

[David Pratt]

Hi Jens, this is available in ZEO and looks to me that the original idea 
was to support more than a single mode of authentication. I was curious 
of those using it to see how it was generally being used (or whether 
others have worked out something against other authentication schemes). 
Many thanks.

Regards,
David
