The Zope user needs to be able to read every file under the install
directory.  Those files are "software", and should be safe to make world
readable, e.g.:

  # chmod -R a+r /path/to/installed/zope

The Zope user needs *write* access only into the 'var' and 'log'
subdirectories of the instance, but must have read access to the whole
instance.
