[Zope] Help with etcUser Folder

[Michel Pelletier]

Zope will not open files outside of its root directory.  You must either
copy your passwd file or link it into your Zope's 'var' directory, I
beleive.  I'm not sure, it's been months since I wrote that code.

I do know that this exact problem is documented in the etcUserFolder
package.  Probably in a readme file or something similar.  Did you look
in the package itself?
