I've seen this question asked a LOT, but had to dig for ages to find the answer. I finally just put 2 and 2 together. I discovered my error on redhat 9.0 using apache 2.x...the web server was running as user nobody and group #-1...dont' use group #-1(the apache default)...I changed it to group nobody and everything fired right up. Usually the "don't use X on these systems" stuff doesn't apply to redhat...seems to this time
below is the error I'd receive Mailman CGI error!!! The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored in your syslog: 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. Thought I'd share it with the list.
