+The "zenoss" system user
+------------------------
+
+Installing the 'zenoss' package you will get a 'zenoss' system user. By
+default the user is not allowed to log in and as no password set, you
+usually become it via "su" from root. If you want you can of course set a
+password for it and then login as 'zenoss' with a suitable password; just
+do "passwd zenoss" as root.
+
+The 'zenoss' user is useful for delegating control privileges for the
+various zenoss daemons, which can be started and stopped using the
+executable "~/bin/zenoss". Also, you can play with the object database of
+zenoss (e.g. to perform batch changes at several network devices at once)
+using the interactive interpreter "~/bin/zendmd".
