[Zope] a newbie question

[Jerry Hsieh]

Hi all,

I tried to install Zope 2.7.0(tar ball) on RedHat 9.0 w/ Python 2.3.3
installed. When I run /path/to/runzope I got the following error message

2004-05-06T08:27:59 PANIC(300) Zope A user was not specified to setuid to;
fix this to start as root (change the effective-user directive in zope.conf)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py", line 49, in ?
    run()
  File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py", line 19, in run
    start_zope(opts.configroot)
  File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py", line 48, in
start_zope
    starter.dropPrivileges()
  File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py", line 203, in
dropPrivileges
    return dropPrivileges(self.cfg)
  File "/opt/Zope-2.7/lib/python/Zope/Startup/__init__.py", line 319, in
dropPrivileges
    raise ZConfig.ConfigurationError(msg)
ZConfig.ConfigurationError: A user was not specified to setuid to; fix this
to start as root (change the effective-user directive in zope.conf)

I modified the effective-user parameter to root won't work either. I had
search on google and read the readme but can't find any hint don't know if
this had ever happen to others. Any help? 

Thanks for your time
