You may create these files at a place where Zope does not
look for them....

Zope RPM distro's often use the so called "INSTANCE_HOME" setup
where the Zope software ("SOFTWARE_HOME") is maintained at a different
place than the Zope data ("INSTANCE_HOME").
The access files must be in the "INSTANCE_HOME" environment.


There is a HowTo on Zope.org about these concepts.
