Please note that for this ebuild of Zope, the standard answer for
initial user creation is not the correct one.

Gentoo's package is *not* a vanilla installation of Zope, though it is a
quite good one.  Read the docs that come with this package and they will
tell you to use: 

zope-config --zpasswd

IIRC, this sets the initial password but also performs some other
configuration tasks, such as initializing the instance home.  You won't
be able to use Zope with this ebuild unless you either use the ebuild
the way it was designed or decide to hack your own.

HTH,

Dylan
