RTFM. Especially with alternative acl_user products as it's trivial to 
lock yourself out if you replace the base level acl_users folder. This 
is particularly important with GUF as it takes a fair amount of work
to get a usable system built out of it that will let you log in and do 
things.

Here's what I suggested to the last unfortunate victim, based on by own dimwitted
experiences :-)  Note that this may not work with Zope 2.1.4 (I did it 
on 2.1.2 and upgraded after that).
