[Zope] RE: No Access file found.

[Chris Larson]

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

OK. Allow me to clarify. Is there any way to redirect the path for the 
'access' path when it should be somewhere other than INSTANCE_HOME? Say, 
for example, I have multiple instances of Zope databases, with one Zope 
install, and I want to use a single superuser, or access file. Not what 
Im' doing, but closer to a mebbe-real-world use. As far as I can tell, 
Zope wants 'access'  located at '../INSTANCE_HOME'. Any ideas? Or am I 
just wrong (And/Or, that is).

Or any ideas for getting around NFS problems without putting '/var' in 
/tmp?

Thanks,

Chris
