[Mailman-Users] CGI Error: Failure to find group name

Hi all,

This question is asked several times in the archives, but I'm yet to find the answer.

What do you do when you've installed Mailman, but accessing the CGI pages with a web browser gives the error message:

Failure to find group name nobody. Try adding this group to your system, or re-run configure, providing an existing group name with the command line option --with-cgi-gid.

Mailman was configured like this:

./configure
--with-mail-gid=postfix
--with-cgi-gid=nobody
--with-mailhost=xxx.xxx.xxx
--with-urlhost=xxx.xxx.xxx

And I'm pretty sure that the group "nobody" exists:

# pw group show nobody nobody:*:65534:

So, why can't Mailman find the group?

TIA!
