Ah, got it! It's /var/zope/access Rather obvious, now that I've found it. Thanks everyone. Much obliged. On Tue, 24 Jul 2001, Alex Kelly wrote:
It is probably a permissions problem. When you run zpasswd.py, the file will be created as the user you are now. It probably wants to be running as nobody, so you need to: chown nobody:nobody access It also should not be readable by anyone else, so you should also do a chmod 400 access after those steps, restart zope and all should be well.
Those steps worked for me anyway :)

Hello:
I have the rpm of Zope 2.3.2-1 installed. Accessing http://localhost:8080 brings up a Zope page, so I'm assuming the basic install is good.
What I cannot figure out for the life of me is how to pass the administration password.
1.) I have no knowledge of what the default was set to by the rpm install. I saw no message about this during the installation;
2.) Perhaps more to the point, I can't figure where, exactly, Zope is looking for this user/password data;
3.) I see the python scripts for changing passwords in /usr/share/zope/utilities. zpasswd.py -u superuser -p [passwd] access seems to work OK. It writes a lovely access file that looks a lot like /etc/passwd. So, I chmod it to 600 and restart zope and try again. Still no cigar;
I have searched docs, etc--but nothing is getting me past this impediment. What am I doing wrong? Is the administrator user still defaulted to username 'superuser?' Do I create this as a system account on my linux system and put a password in /etcpasswd & /etc/shadow? If not, where does it need to be?
Thanks in advance. I'd dearly love to move on to more interesting problems! <grin>
