Its worth pointing out some security considerations with this approach.... The 
zeo network protocol has no security features. If you run your zope and zeo 
processes under their own user account, you probably want to switch to that 
user before running this script.

You will have open up a big security hole if you run this script from a more 
privelidged 'system management' user account.
