Hi, Jason.

I don't know 100% which user hits the filesystem through LocalFS, but
I'd assume it's whatever user is running Zope. You can change it using
"-u username" in the start script in your Zope directory (of course,
where "username" is substituted with a safe user choice on your part).
You probably don't want Zope running as root anyway... since you don't
have to be using LocalFS for things to go out into the filesystem (e.g.,
external methods).
