hi, 
situation:
i'm trying to set up a site with two distinct users - anonymous and member - just like the zope org.

problem:
with user db - it can only be one level off root dir (e.g. Register).  authentication is ok.  the only thing is i get AUTHENTICATED_USER as anonymous user on other folders except the user db folder.  i guess i need to acquire to the root dir. how could i approach that? 

removing the  default user folder at root and moving the user db to root didnt help much.  it locks off users.

with user folder - i can't figure out how to authenticate thru a form.  what do i need to compare?  

if only i can have a peek at what happen when i log in at the zope site..
i did look at logged_in.html - but can't see where the authentication takes place.  what to call, etc.

sorry if this is too simple.  i searched thru the archive, but no relevant answers to my Q.
i did came accross Michel's point about membership.  is it available now?
