I was planning on doing this anyway, but I was thinking more about how
the ZEO server process might be able to run amok if it was run as
root, but if it was run as a regular user then it would be more
limited in what it could do.

I'm not sure how likely this is, I just want to know what risks I am
accepting by having the convenience of running the ZEO server as a
daemon.

Thank you for your help with troubleshooting these problems, it is
much appreciated.
