[Zope] Re: permissions problem writing file from External Method?

[Bill Seitz]

I've checked that
* zope is running as user=zope (which is the sole member of group=zope)
* the attributes of the folder I'm trying to write into are:
drwxrwxrwx    2 lii      lii          4096 Oct 28 09:41 logs

Shouldn't that be fine?
