    I just installed mailman from the Fedora repository.

    Attempting to access http://mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo results in

    The Mailman CGI wrapper encountered a fatal error. This entry is being stored
    in your syslog:

    Group mismatch error. Mailman expected the CGI wrapper script to be
    executed as one of the following groups:
    [apache],
    but the system's web server executed the CGI script as group: "nobody".
    Try tweaking the web server to run the script as one of these groups:
    [apache],
    or re-run configure providing the command line option:
    '--with-cgi-gid=nobody'.

    I'm running Apache under the default "nobody" setting (and at this point, I
    really don't want to change that). How do I tweak mailman to accept "nobody"
    or tell Apache to run mailman's scripts with the group "apache"?
