[Zope] Zope on SuSE 8.2 -- What initial user name and password do Iuse?

[Chris McDonough]

FWIW, the Zope 2.7 RPMs that were just uploaded to Zope.org today as
part of the 2.7b2 release take the approach of not creating an initial
user.  Instead, if you visit the quickstart page (by visiting the
freshly installed Zope in a browser) and the system has no users
installed, it will give you instructions about how to install one.  The
only thing that remains to be told to the user is the port number that
Zope's running on.  Haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. ;-)

It would be nice if someone (Marcus, maybe?) were to "translate" the
currently RedHat-centric 2.7 RPM spec file into something that worked
equally under SuSE.  Then maybe we can contribute the resulting spec
files/SRPMs to SuSE and RedHat respectively for consideration in their
distributions for the future.

Two of them I managed to connect straight to by setting up a new password with the zpasswd.py script in /opt/zope/utilities on Suse. The 3rd installation was a real bind. Nothing I did seemed to cure it. My final solution was to download the latest stable version of Zope, remove the original zope package with yast and reinstall the downloaded version.

Not a big problem as there is a start script in the Zope directory. If I ever get round to it, I will copy the rczope script from one of my other machines.
