Hi all,

While testing mod_ldap, I noticed it was creating a shared memory file like so:

[minfrin@jessica httpd-2.0]$ ls -al /tmp/mod_ldap_cache
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody 4294967295 4 Jan 22 14:09 /tmp/mod_ldap_cache

The groupid is set to 4294967295 - which is bogus.

The default config file says (said) this:

User nobody
Group #-1

That #-1 has caused me grief before when testing just the httpd core on some platforms (OS/390? Linux? FreeBSD?...can't remember). I'd prefer to replace it if we had a more portable alternative.
