Frankly, I don't know what the owner group is for. As for the restart issue, that, we can trouble shoot. Why does it need to be restarted? What platform are you on? What are the flags you are passing to the z2.py start up script in the start/start.bat script? What is the weather like in Timbukto (hot,dry and windy))?

You pointed out I have to add a user as *manager*. I did and it worked :) I had done this successfully before as well. But don't I want to add an owner? Or is that function reserved solely for superuser and is what is meant by superuser? If so, I presume I can add owners for folders I create but not for the root, correct? Also, why does my Zope always have to be restarted every few hours? TIA, BenO
