No, unfortunately, it doesn't.  Despite the fact that I'm logged in as a 
manager, it asks me for my username and password.  See below.

I think the problem is in Zope/lib/python/Products/Transcience.  Whereas 
the get method is declared as:

	security.declareProtected(ACCESS_TRANSIENTS_PERM, 'get')
	def get(self, k, default=_marker):

the keys method is declared as:

	def keys(self):

Notice that there is no security declaration.  I think that this combined with
the line:

	security.setDefaultAccess('deny')

is locking me out.

Of course, this is my first time looking at the Zope code, so I could be wrong.
In any case, it's not working. :(

Thanks,
