The 'inituser' only works if your ZODB is getting created (the first 
time you run Zope.) You can simply delete Data.fs* if you want this to 
happen again.

The 'inituser' magic (and presumably also 'access') seems to only work 
from your INSTANCE_HOME, so if you have such a setup (I don't know how 
SuSE packages Zope, but it would be a reasonable thing for them to do), 
and leave the file in your SOFTWARE_HOME where it is generated, it won't 
be read. You should move such a file to your INSTANCE_HOME (where the 
Products, Extensions, and var directories live.)
