It is now running version 2.6.4-1.6. I must have started with something larger
than 2.5.1, because thats in Debian woody. That's the problem with living on
the bleeding edge of course (I run Debian testing).

The output I get when using zopectl directly (I even modified the script to
remove the try/catch statement), just gives a timeout message, not an error.

z2.py runs when started on its own.

I just noticed that there isn't anything under /etc/zopectl. I will first try
to a working zope.conf file.
