Thanks for the suggestion, but changing the ownership of $ZOPEDIR/var prevented Zope from starting up:

2003-09-04T15:13:55 PANIC(300) z2 Startup exception
Traceback (innermost last):
  File /zope/z2.py, line 855, in ?
SystemExit: $ZOPEDIR/var is not owned by root, fix this to start as root (see doc/SETUID.txt)

I need to run on port 80, and the SETUID.txt file indicates root must own $ZOPEDIR/var.
