[Mailman-Users] UID/GID mismatch error....

[Andrew D. Clark]

This one is always fun.

You can rerun ./configure and set the --with-cgi-gid to what it should be 
(probably 60001 in your case), then rerun make (don't need to do make 
install), then copy the newly compiled cgi wrapper over the old one.
