[Zope] Error Packing Data.fs

[Eric L. Walstad]

Hi,
I am getting a permission denied error when I try to pack the Data.fs file
I found one answer to this in the archives, but I need a little more
explanation.  Here's the answer from the archive:

My question is:  Do I change the ownership of Data.fs to "nobody" or do I
change the user Zope is run as?  I guess I don't understand the consequenses
of each option so I don't know which is the best way to go.

Thanks,

Eric.
