The point I'm trying to make is that Zope has learned nothing from the UNIX philosophy. Yes, you can extend the config schema. You can grow new, better config files, of extraordinary magnitude. The all-powerful server will grow from being all-powerful to being all-powerful + n. It will be

But lo, still you won't be able to do something as mundane as limit the memory the FTP server is able to consume without affecting the HTTP server. You can do this with Zope. Just use ZEO and run one ZEO front-end for HTTP and one for FTP. -- Steve Alexander

Oops, I stand corrected. But Zope 2.7 does include ZEO! Very good! But in that case, shouldn't the new Zope 2.7 install and startup stuff support it? Well, in a typical installation, you won't be running ZEO on the same machine as Zope, right? ZEO has its own install and config stuff,

Cool! I didn't know. Do you think we should tell people that if they want to run a ZEO server to just run mkzeoinst from the software home resulting from Zope's make install and to edit zope.conf to use a ClientStorage? Chris, have you looked at ZEO/mkzeoinst.py? It uses a somewhat simpler

Chris, have you looked at ZEO/mkzeoinst.py? It uses a somewhat simpler approach than the new Zope setup, but it creates a zeoctl script and a zeo.conf configuration file. Cool! I didn't know. Do you think we should tell people that if they want to run a ZEO server to just run
