In your case, the problem lies in the controller - it cannot do the 
equivalent of "sudo" as yet - the Mac OS X documentation on the Authorisation 
API is completely non-existent, and I haven't guessed correctly to make it 
work yet :(

So for now, you can't run on port 80 :(

The controller source on zope.org is out of date, and I'll try to update it 
so that people can play with it themselves (and hopefully someone will figure 
out the auth problem.)

I'll fix that in the next release.
