I'm trying to setup Zope 2.6.1 on a fresh install of RedHat 8.0 and running
into some difficulty.  I've configured zope to run as user 'zope' and
chmod -R zope.zope the main Zope dir, so I wouldn't think it would be a
permissions issue.  Zope starts up fine, but when I try to access the
management page I get a an error after entering the initial username and
password provided by the install script.  I've been reading through the
docs, faqs, and searching online, but so far I haven't found a solution to
this.  Listed below are some of the details.  Any help appreciated.

Z2.log records the following:

Editing the start script to include -M zope.log produces a different error:
