[Mailman-Users] CGI error (got gid -1)

[Jon Carnes]

Did you check your /etc/group file to check that "nobody" is actually
defined in the file?

Oddly enough, I remember having this problem at a clients - but the
solution was like a 5 minute fix so I don't remember what I did, and I
didn't chronicle it.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
