etcUserFolder

The etcUserFolder product authenticates off of a standard UNIX password file. The password file used can be specified in the product. It is a bit misnamed, because etcUserFolder can authenticate off of any file whose first two colon delimited fields are uid and crypted password.

This Product requires the crypt module. There may, or may not be such a module for Win32. This product may only be compatable with UNIX. Zope does not come with the crypt module (because of the non-cross platform nature of it) so you will need to either get the cryptmodule.c (from Python) and compile it, or copy your existing cryptmodule.so file into Zope's path, or use the one that comes with etcUserFolder which was compiled for RedHat Linux 5.2 (which may not work on your platform).
