Okay, this isn't pretty but I guess we'll have to live with it. It'd be
great if ty could chime in on this right now ;-)

Well, my view is that LoginManager is so generically useful that is
should form part of the main Zope source and so, like ZCatalog, should
be there when you install Zope. I might make a post about this area to
the Zope-Dev list in the near future...

Hmm, well, can you email me a copy and I'll check it in on your behalf.

What didn't work with CVS? It was quite hairy but I have got it working
and I'd like to help :-)

No kidding... ;-)

Urk, my brain is falling apart, what is Membership and how does it works
(links are a perfectly acceptabel answer ;-)

cheers,
