I think it would be ok if bin/zopectl pack just did the pack in it's own process (or sent the pack command to the storage server(s)). Then you wouldn't need uname/password. Packing a running non-zeo zope might be too much trouble (Unless there is already a "pack" signal).

It seems to me that if you can start/stop the process you can pack the database.
