I found a fix to the "no module new" from searching the web: comment out the Python Modules/Setup configuration of "new newmodule.c". I couldn't get around the PyMethod_Type problem, so I built Python and Zope (2.2.2) from the ports. Now I have Zope running, but I can't use the manage interface because the zopemaster password doesn't work, even when I reset it with post-install instructions of python zpasswd.py -u <username> -p <passwd> -e CLEARTEXT access Did my attempts at source-install with it's "admin" account password corrupt the acl for the ports-install? Something wrong with cleartext authentication? This authentication stuff is a hurdle. I think I understand that using zpasswd creates and "emergency" account, which can't do everything. Why do different "distrubutions" have different management passwords? Is there a concept of a "root" account that has authority to do everything? Does it have a unique name? Is this different from the emergency account? Whew! ==Leonard
