yes thats correct, a barricade allowing only traffic into the center of town who are authorized (having a pass, or a 'transponder' (public transports))

the case which you describes about hackers turning all lights to green wont work out, because the traffic automats have a standalone security which will turn all lights to blinking yellow incase something happens which is forbidden (like this case ) ... it will still cause a lot of chaos though
they could also turn off all detectors or fixate 1 direction on green, and thereby blocking all other directions in red, which will drive the drivers (bad pun ) through red after some time ...
but this is future talk anyway ... we will test it out with this barriace system first

we still need an authorization protocol as i described in the first post .. 1 overall super sysop (our company), several normal sysyops (the customers), several super users with slightly less access than the sysops (the sysops in the customers various departments), and in the end the normal users with next-to-no knowledge

as i am unfamiliar with both zope and php (only created 'hello world' in php i think, in fact i just copied it from a book , didnt have time to do more with it yet) ... is it possible with php as well ?
what barricades (bad pun again ) could we come across ?
do you foresee any problems ?

as i am unfamiliar with authentication protocols as well (just using them ), do you know any nice websites about them .. when i google about it, i get way too many hits

thanks for your help so far already
