This appears wrong to me. You see, stock Debian's nobody is: $ getent passwd nobody nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh $ id nobody uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup) So, you have custom shell for nobody, which can be the source of your problem, and you have custom groups for nobody, which is asking for trouble (see /usr/share/doc/base-passwd/users-and-groups.txt.gz).
