[Zope] - Authentication - users don't work at all!

[Ross J. Reedstrom]

Hey Zopers -
(ehw, that doesn't sound good - what should the collective noun for
"those who hack Zope" be?)

Anyway - I've just installed 1.9.0 on my Linux box, pawed through some
of the docs and examples and am very impressed! We're just in the
beginning phases of coding up a Cold Fusion based web/database app, and
I'm hoping to do some parallel development under Zope, then cut over to
that when everyone sees how much cooler^W more maintainable the Zope
version is.

My problem right now  - I can't get anyone except the "Superuser" and
the anonymous  role to authenticate!  Just like Phil Harris's problem
with IIS, but I'm using the ZopeHTTPServer directly (I figured that
would be the least hassle)

What I've done:
Connect as the superuser
Go to the management screen
Open the User Folder object
Add users with 'Manager' role (check that password many many times)
Shut down browser/restart 
(aside: anyone know how to get Netscape to forget it's authentication
info without shutting down?)
Try connecting again as user
get password dialog:

"Username for 'Main' at server 'wallace:9673':"
And if fails:
(logs from [Zopedir]var/server.errors):
