You're real problem is that you and the current ZODB disagree with regards to credentials. This is a common problem with distro-packaged Zope (though usually from Debian users.) You may need to do the zpasswd.py magic some more, either to set up an "emergency user" so as to make a proper user ('access' method) or to create a new ZODB with the proper credentials ('inituser' method). Read docs/SECURITY.txt for the basics...

Ok, I'll check that out.

The other option is that what you did worked and that the domain restriction is working against you. Make sure you are where you think you are.

What IS the domain restriction? What does it mean? thanks, Anthony
