This behavior really needs to be changed.  Obviously nobody is better 
than root, but it's still not the safety net everyone thinks it is (see 
http://www.zope.org/Members/zigg/DontRunAsNobody).  Z2 needs to quit if 
it's being run as root.

I would supply a patch but (a) there's no Collector, and (b) I had an 
issue in the Collector for a long time wrt "nobody" that got pretty much 
ignored.

Sorry for the tone, but this whole nobody thing makes me cranky. :-)
