Zope's installation script allows us to create a user different than root to start the zope server (./install -u toto -g zope). So I've created a user "toto" and a groupe "zope".

It may not be related to your problem, but Im not familiar with any installation script called ./install. Which distribution is this?

I'm using an empty DirectoryStorage. This is perhaps part of the problem. Cause it doesn't seem to recognize the password. The passwords must be stored in the FileStorage (data.fs)?

Yes. Originally you wrote:

But when I try to logon (zope/manage) nothing happens. The request is sent, but then it just waits indefinitely.

"waits indefinitely" is a different symptom to zope not recognising your password. If your browser keeps on requesting a password then Zope is running happily - you just havent created any user accounts yet.

Perhaps I should copy it. How can I copy it from File to DirectoryStorage?

I suggest you use an "emergency user" to create a password to let you in to the empty storage, just to be sure that there are no other problems. After that, the FAQ has an answer to "How can I copy data from a FileStorage into a DirectoryStorage?" and your original passwords will work. http://dirstorage.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html

I've send you in attachment the start log.
