[Zope] startup at boot - what user to run zope as

[Jatwood@bwanazulia.com]

Hey Andy,

It depends on what installation you chose. If you went with Zope + 
Apache you need to start it up with the same user that Apache (and 
thusly Zope.cgi) is running under. This is most likely nobody. If, 
however, you are running just ZServer (fast and ferocious) you can 
start that up as you.
