2007.11.27 07:42:28 LOG3[28556:3085354688]: Failed to get GID for group nobody

Do somebody knows how to get GID for group nobody? My nobody group is sured to work correctly with Squid.

The config file about group:

; Some security enhancements for UNIX systems - comment them out on Win32 chroot = /usr/local/var/lib/stunnel/

I don't remember exactly how the latest stunnel does chroot, but a common problem is that a daemon will chroot before looking up the user and group names, and if the chroot area doesn't contain /etc/passwd and /etc/group, the lookups fail.

An easy solution is to use numeric UIDs and GIDs in your configuration.

Hope this helps,

----Scott.
