[Zope-CMF] Displaying who is logged in ...

[Jens Vagelpohl]

this is a good example of the "faking" i meant.

this product hooks into the traversal machinery and squirrels away user 
information when someone hits the site. it seems that the administrator 
can configure after which non-activity interval a user is considered 
inactive and won't show up in the statistics display.
