Hi, Joshua,

Every time I run pinfo, I get the following message:

Security warning: Unable to get GID of group called: nobody

Looking in /etc/pinforc, I see

SAFE-USER=nobody
SAFE-GROUP=nobody

AFAIK, "nobody" is not a standard user or group on Cygwin.  I'm guessing
it doesn't complain about the "nobody" user only because I created one for
running apache.

I don't know what the right values would be here, but thought I'd report
this.
	Igor
