Hi Niels,
your comparison of zope proxy roles with unix suid made me really curious. =
I need to think about what I read online.

A difference is definitely that a linux application/script in the filesyste=
m is not available to unauthorized users. A Zope python script COULD be ava=
ilable to unauthorized users per direct URL traversal.=20

http://your_zope_root/path_to_zms/content/proxy_roled_script?param1=3Dvalue=
1

I think a python script that evaluates parameters from the request is even =
more dangerous if proxy roled as manager. A developer needs to make careful=
 assertions on the values provided to this script or at least manage access=
 control to this script.

Anyway, I am waiting for Thorsten submitting his traceback.
