So I answer to mine ;) but not completely;
I've created a normal user in order to install a Plone buildout in its
home/(username folder)... and now I try to launch "bin/instance fg" as root
but an error occurs : "a user was not specified to setuid:fix to start as
root (change the effective directive in zope.conf); but in zope.conf, there
is no such a directive
I thought root had all permission ? Is tit necessary to add this or to use
chown command ?

I want to install correctly a Plone site on a Linux Debian and I use
buildout;
at first it didn't work well,the filestorage was empty (no data.fs
created) until I add an effective-user in zope.conf; this user was
created, I suppose, by the person who installed the linux debian.
But even in that case the ZMI is not visible, the ping and telnet command
works well yet !
The other solution would be to make install not as a root but as a "normal
user", and after that, starting the zope instance as a root;
but why to do that and how to do that if the normal user has not the
rights of a root ? If I add a new user, where have I to create the plone3
buildout...and so on ?
thanks

It's dangerous to run server processes as root, so the system complains.
You can put in a "effective-user = zope" line in your buildout.cfg file
(I think it goes in the [instance] section). Make the user match the one
you installed your buildout with. Or, you can just run ./bin/instance fg
as the user you installed buildout with.
If you're just testing things out this is all very easy to do in your
home directory, as Martin recommends. If this is a production machine,
you should run the server process as a user like "zope" or "plone" so it
will be easy to recognize, and this user should not have extra
privileges that could be exploited if the server process is compromised.
