Seems to be problem with Redhat configs... My "hostname" was set to 
"www.myvirtualserverdomain.de". ZServer took this one for the FTP-Server 
and VHM recognized a virtual domain, so I wasn't able to see the root of 
my Zope with FTP.

I corrected the "hostname" to "www" and all works fine. Something that 
is strange with ZServer: It uses different methods to get the hostname.

If I start my server with ./start -a 127.0.0.1 ...

the ZSERVER-HTTP-Hostname resolves to localhost (from /etc/hosts),
the ZSERVER-FTP-Hostname resolves to www... (from hostname of server)

I think that the resolving of the ZSERVER-FTP is some kind of a bug...
