[Zope] Passwd doesn't take

[Xeno Campanoli]

I seem to have zope running on my Debian/Linux workstation as follows:

  1  3502  3502  3502 ?           -1 S        0   0:00 python
/usr/sbin/zope-z2
 3502  3503  3502  3502 ?           -1 S       33   0:14 /usr/bin/python
/usr/sbin/zope-z2

and I get prompted for the password when I give the following URI to
netscape:

http://localhost:8080/manage

but I give my name and password (which I think is correct because after
it failed the first time I changed
it with:asp:/usr/lib/zope# ./zpasswd.py ~zopepasswdfile
Username [superuser]: Xeno
Password:
Verify password:

Please choose a format from:

SHA - SHA-1 hashed password
CRYPT - UNIX-style crypt password
CLEARTEXT - no protection.

Encoding [SHA]:
Allowed domains [enter=all]:

...and after it rejected the password and I hit cancel, it said:

Thank you for your patience.

And so I'm stuck.  I think I have a valid install, as I went through all
the standard dpkg -i install packages
to get there, and the thing runs and stayed in memory for about a day
now.   I'm hoping this is a simple problem with the way I'm setting the
password, or the way I'm specifying the URI to netscape.  Can somebody
make a suggestion or tell me where to read?  Thanks.
