Hi, Environment: Apache httpd 2.2.9 OS: AIX 5.3 64 bit Running httpd returns the error "bad user name nobody". The User and Group directives in the httpd.conf have nobody and nobody. I can rlogin to this machine as the user nobody without problems. The uid and gid of nobody are the default AIX values given below. httpd works fine on other AIX machines with the same uid/gid. Even on this machine, if I change uid/gid to some smaller number it works. However, as per AIX docs 4294967294 is a valid id. bash-3.00# cat /etc/passwd | grep nobody nobody:!:4294967294:4294967294::/: bash-3.00# cat /etc/group | grep nobody nobody:!:4294967294:nobody,lpd Is this some OS issue? Has anyone faced this problem before? Thanks. Sukarna --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
