[Greg Ward]

[original problem]
> <hlmods-request at evildomain.dyndns.org>: Command died with status 2:
>     "/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd hlmods". Command output: Failure to
>     exec script. WANTED gid 51, GOT gid 65534.  (Reconfigure to take 65534?)

[my suggestion]

> FAQ:
> 
>   http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.001.htp

[latest problem]
> Attempting to do that gives the following error.

You're taking the FAQ way too literally.  Read YOUR error message and do
what it says.  The -1 in the FAQ is JUST AN EXAMPLE.
