[Zope] Password problem.

Just starting to learn Zope.
Running Mandrake 6.1 on AMD K6.

Grabbed Zope 2.1.4 i386 .tgz.
Unpacked in /usr/share/zope-2.1.4 .

./install -u Super_Manager_username --> ok, except, thanks to Zope List
archives, figured out I had to chown nobody. .../var and rerun ./install,
otherwise it aborted trying to write the Z2.pid file. (Some one should
report that as a bug, that ./install gets the .../var ownership wrong.) 

Now, using the Lynx browser (of course), Goto: http://localhost:8080 -->
Welcome to Zope! But, selecting "management screen", I give it Username &
Password for Super Manager --> Authorization failed. 

So, I try the "bin/python zpasswd.py zpassword" from
/usr/share/zope-2.1.4. All looks fine, but doesn't work. 

Am excited about using Zope, and later the Portal Tool Kit. Just this one
little problem, though.

Thanks for your help.
