	 Because I know this list is archived - apparently there is 
no visible feedback (ie in Plone Setup, or any of the bits of ZMI 
that I looked in) for this product, and my problem with installation 
on Debian was disturbingly simple - after you have downloaded and 
unpacked it, you need to change the name of the folder from 
RPCAuth-0.4 to just RPCAuth.
	Most useful debugging technique is to start the Zope instance 
using runzope rather than zopectl.
