Hi all,
sorry, but this is the most silly thing i have seen so far ! 
(and a bit annoying.....)
That a folder aquires its sibling folders complete tree.
I have several cmf-sites in the root of a zope-instance, which is
hosted not by myself. I can actually write for instance
www.dom1.com/dom2siterootfolder/dom2content and get content from
site dom2.com shown in dom1.com

No other way to stop aq. from its megalomania ?

(its not a security issue, since the stuff has to be public, but its silly,
and dangerous, inviting stupid things to happen.)

greetings, 
Sune
