That's new to me. I tried using
sudo chgrp -c www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
but still see
bob@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo zmu
03/28/24 10:31:33.373918 undef[406950].ERR-zm_db.cpp/55 [Can't connect to server: Access denied for user 'zmuser'@'localhost']

03/28/24 10:31:33.374161 undef[406950].FAT-zm_config.cpp/67 [Can't connect to db. Can't continue.]
At least the config file is now readable.

 
There is a lot of good stuff there - though some is a bit arcane :-)

Indeed, I'll have study it a while. I wish there had been a hint in the
man page to the links you supplied.

Thank you very much!
