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!
