[Mailman-Users] web interface not working...

[Ralph Forsythe]

Apache is run under 'httpd/httpd' (user/group).  I compiled mailman using 
the --with-cgi-gid=httpd as I thought it was nobody at first and got 
'expected GID xx, got GID xx' errors when viewing the pages.  I think it's 
running with the right GID now however...
