You do not want to start zope as root. The zope process has the same permissions as the user that starts the process. On Sat, 2003-05-03 at 14:15, Fernando Martins wrote:
The zope user installed by SuSE is configured as a deamon accout. If you would like to login as the zope user you will need to modify /etc/passwd so that the zope user looks something like this:
zope:x:64:2:Zope daemon:/opt/zope26:/bin/bash
Then you can login as the zope user and start zope as that user.
Indeed it helps, thanks. I can't check it now but I suppose a daemon account doesn't have a shell by default and that was why I couldn't su.
Is it common practice to use the root account or the daemon account to manage Zope? Does it make a difference?
