Yes, I know that this is an "unsupported, don't ask us questions about
it" product. so you offical types at Digital Creations ignore this
message.  I'm talking to the other users out there who've been playing
with this as well, and have more python/Zope experience than I do.

In particular, I like the ability to validate against my db. However,
I'm wondering if there's some clever method of overriding the SQL
methods used by UserDb, short of 'cut&paste' code reuse to make
myUserDb. See, I've already got tables & fields with usernames and
passwords, but I need different queries to access them. Ideally, I'd
like to overide a particular _instances_ methods - so, for example, I
can have users in different Teams, and return only the users that exist
in a particular team. Any bright ideas out there? Is this another
something obvious that I failed to grasp, any you're all now laughing at
me?
