It's not supposed to happen in the world of 32-bit software, but your
problem sure has the smell of a bug that only happens if the gid is greater
than 32k.

[Mailman-Users] CGI Error: Failure to find group name

[Andrew Hill]

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!
