>Description:
Mailman comes with a pre-configured list of group names under
which to execute its cgi scripts. The most likely gid is
compiled into binary wrappers in $PREFIX/lib/mailman/bin. If
you run Apache with custom gid (e.g. by setting APACHE_GROUP
in/etc/mk.conf) that is not in this list, any web access will
run into an error unless you communicate that gid to the
configure script.
>How-To-Repeat:
Put APACHE_GROUP = httpd into /etc/mk.conf, install Apache,
install Mailman. Wonder why it complains about gid mismatch
although the Makefile calls configure with group name. Look
closer, find it says nothing about cgis.
