We've had this discussion before. ;-)  The previous conclusion: it 
should be possible to configure ZEO to require a simplistic, 
non-encrypted password to connect, so that people with local access to a 
box don't automatically have free reign.  Then to make secure 
connections between boxes, use ssh, stunnel, or a private network.
