Successfully installed Zope on a LinuxPPC Mac a couple of months ago and have been reading/studying to grasp concepts, but had not worked with it for a while. Found it had quit, so telnetted in and did a ./start . Serves the default page OK, so looks like I'm up and running. Attempting to visit the manage screen, I find that the originally assigned password is not accepted. (had not run zpasswd.py to change it yet). Looking at the access file, the password in the file looks nothing like the one I wrote down when I installed it. For one thing, the password that I wrote down is 8 characters long and the one in "access" is HUGE. My question is: What _part_ of that access file password string is actually the password that I should use to get back to the manage screen? I've tried any/all combinations that I can think of. Right now the file says: superuser:{SHA} followed by 14 characters, then a "/", then 12 more characters, and finally an "=" ??? Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

Darren, The password in the access file is not 'plain text'. It is encrypted using the SHA algorithm. That is why you see the {SHA} preceeding the password. So in fact, the whole string is the password after being encrypted. Your best bet, is to run zpasswd.py and create a new password. Adam -- "There's never enough time to do | M.
