I had the same problem: on one machine normal logins suddenly just
stopped working (emergency user was fine).  Changing the passwords
didn't help.  It was zope 2.5.0 from a Debian package.

I'm not sure what was being done with Zope at that moment, a colleague
was working with that matchine at the moment).  Nuking the database
(/var/lib/zope/var/Data.fs) helped (thankfully there wasn't anything
important there.

I would also like to hear some alternatives.
