	Fortunately it is possible to use cookies to get around that.  Take a
	look at the UserDB sample application for more details.  (Note: we
	don't support the UserDB sample application, it is just an example.)

	The UserDB sample stores and retrieves user information from a
	relational database.  Thus, it provides an example of how to extend
	Zope to get user information from an external source.

Where does one get hold of "UserDB"?

I looked under "Contributed Software",
but couldn't see anything obvious.

Which brings me to a suggestion - a "Search" tab at the Zope site to
search for documents/modules available at www.zope.org - reasonable?

(Note: the eGroups search facility has never worked for me, it is
either unavailable, or, as now, displays:
	Sorry, an error occured while searching.
((for "UserDB" of course :-)))
