[Zope] Authentication problems with exUserFolder

Hi all,

I'm using exUserFolder to authenticate to a Postgres database.

With certain clients, however, authentication information is sent only
for protected pages. I have a fair amount of information that is
available for anonymous users, and I use _['AUTHENTICATED_USER'] to
determine whether to place things like "Edit Preferences" and the like
on those pages.

With Lynx, Mozilla 9.1+, and IE 5.5 (I think) the Basic Auth stuff is
only sent for the protected pages.

Any ideas on why this is so, and how to fix it?

Thanks,
