[Zope] LoginManager or exUserFolder

For the CMF? Irrelevant for me.

What I really have a problem with is the structure of the default/example
methods return a crypted password into Zope, whereas my LoginManager has a
userAuthenticate call that jumps into an external method and uses PAM to
check the password.

Of course, you can *do* it with exUserFolder, but at a glance it seemed the
work you'd have to put in would be a bit disproportional.

Regards,
Phil

| exUserFolder seems simpler than LoginManger and runs on 2.4.1 unmodified,
| but isn't layed out quite as I would hope.

Membership Features are coming for exUserFolder this weekend too d8)
You'd have to hold your breath a little using them though.
