I'm trying to get a new installation of mailman running on a new
installation of apache. Both were installed via pkgsrc. When I try to
use a mailing list, however, I get a message saying
WANTED gid 31, GOT gid 39.
In other words, mailman was configured to expect gid 'guest', while
apache was running CGIs under gid 'nobody'. Is this a problem with the
default installation of one or the other, most likely mailman? If not,
what is the cleanest way to reconfigure one or the other to solve the
problem?
