What IS the domain restriction? What does it mean? It is exactly what it looks like: that user will not be authenticated unless the request originates in that domain. (However, this may not even work in 2.7 without turning it on explicitly.)
I'm using 2.6.2 and it seemed to work fine. For the sake of the archives, I finally got this working. Here's what I did: I realized I had installed the zope package as root, and when I checked the permissions of /opt/zope, sure enough the zope user couldn't write to it. Since it couldn't create the "inituser" file, I figured that could be a problem. So I changed the permissions of all the files in /opt/zope with chgrp -R zope * and chown -R zope *. I later realized that /opt/zope/var still needed to be owned by root so I did chown root /opt/zope/var. I checked the /var/log/zope.log file and saw that my requests were originating from my IP address, *not* my hostname, which was what I was giving the domain restriction as. I guess I figured that since "who" showed my PC's assigned domain name that Zope would use the same, but once I specified the domain restriction as the corresponding IP address it worked. So, I'm not sure if it was the permissions, the IP address/name thing, or both, but I can get the management screen now, so thanks! Anthony
