Okay - so this one's an apache query... Sorry!

The answer is that the default setting for the Group directive is "#-1"
(4294967295 = 2^32-1...). Change this to real group name or number and
it should be OK.

BTW - you are user #6 to find this out the hard way...

Gee, should Apache folks do something about the default Group in the conf?
I think the group "nobody" is pretty standard across Unices?
I have a bad memory, but I think I remember that nobody is used to be the
default Group together with User nobody.
