What ist wrong? Whiche pw and uid i have to use? Please help!
The clue is that zope login userIds are *not related* to system login userIds, but the system login root can create the zope login root (usually called admin). Hmm, if you had not been asked to set up a user during installation, there must have been a default user, that must have been documented, so it is in the documentation (e.g. /usr/share/doc/packages/zope/README on suse, I guess) where the default zope admin user settings are documented. See also: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/292/2001/4/50/5655523/ for a similar question on SuSE 7.3. Alternatively, even if you maybe accidentally forgot the zope admin user you can always recreate it by calling the zpasswd.py script from the shell as linux system root. More details can be found in the 'Emergency user' section of the zope book, http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/Security.stx -- Holger Blasum
