that means zope is going to *change* to the new user. It can only do
that if started as root. This is a little more difficult to set up,
but necessary if (and only if) you want zope to listen on a low
numbered port (80, 21, etc)

An alternative is to change to that new user before starting zope.
Then you dont need any -u switch, but you have to use a high numbered
port (such as 8080)
