Hello,

    I've a problem with Zope 1.0.9 (source distribution) with
authentication.
    I'am  using Apache 1.2.6 from a RedHat 5.1 distribution with the
standard configuration files plus the the rewrite Rule in httpd.conf :
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteLog /etc/httpd/logs/rewrite.log
        RewriteLogLevel 9
        RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}  ^(.*)
        RewriteRule ^/Zope/(.*) /home/httpd/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/$1
[e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l]

    For testing, i've installed Zope under the /home/httpd/Zope-1.9.0-src
and a link with /home/hhtpd/Zope.lnk
    Zope.cgi is in the cgi-bin directory

     The URL //mymachine/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi gives the welcome page
     The URL //mymachine/cgi-bin/Zope.cgi/manage asks the superuser name and
the password but it faills

    The URL //mymachine/Zope/manage asks the superuser name and the password
but it faills. The log for the rewrite rule seems to be correct (and it
works...)

    httpd runs as nobody.
    access file is owned by nobody with read and write access.
    ls-l var gives :
        total 26
            -rw-rw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody      10780 Dec 30 17:22 Data.bbb
            -rw-rw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody       7789 Dec 30 17:11
Data.bbb.in
            -rw-r--r--   1 nobody   nobody          9 Dec 30 17:22
Data.bbb.trans
            drwxrwxrwx   3 nobody   nobody       1024 Dec 30 17:21 gadfly
            -rw-rw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody       3135 Dec 30 17:21 pcgi.log
            -rw-rw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody          4 Dec 30 17:22 pcgi.pid
            srwxrwxrwx   1 nobody   nobody          0 Dec 30 17:22 pcgi.soc

    ls -l access gives :
        -rwxrw-rw-   1 nobody   nobody         16 Dec 30 18:12 access



        Thank you
