My installation is on RH Linux, however it sounds to me like you are having the same problem. I am no longer having the problem and the voodoo I doodood to get it working seems like a bad dream now. I created a simple user name "bob" and a one character password (I'm pretty sure it was "1"). I then closed and reopened Netscape and logged in as "bob" and it worked. I then created a second "manager" username and gave it a regular password and it work like it should have the first time. Of course all this happened after trying every conceivable incarnation of usernames and passwords (two and three character passwords did NOT work), stomping around my office, slamming doors and cursing everyone on the list that did not answer my postS ;-) Hope this helps!!

I just installed 2.2 on win98.

I log on as a superuser, and try and make a new folder an I get:

...

Zope Error

Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource.

Error Type: SuperCannotOwn Error Value: Objects cannot be owned by the superuser

So I used to do that I thought. I tried to make a new acl user, but couldn't log in with that name password combo. I saw that webmaster asked this a couple of days ago, but I saw no answer.

Am I being dumb and missing the obvious? Do I need to go and read some how to about users and permissions?

any help would be great.
