Hi,

What's the best way to generate a secure unique ID in Zope? I've tried
generating a random integer then md5'ing it, but trying to do an md5.new()
causes Zope to prompt for authentication. I'm running this as a user who's
an out-of-the-box Manager - what other permission is needed?

Or is there a better way of doing it?

Cheers,
Dan
