Go with A). Use LoginManager. There are several HOWTOs on zope.org 
for using it with an SQL user source. Use jok's - I found it to be 
more straightforward.

Give me a holler if it makes no sense. I've done it twice now.

Can I either A) point Zope to MySQL to use this DB for user validation
in Zope or B) import the data from the MySQL DB into Zope?
