Yes I have. Not only that, but created new groups on the machine, all
with unique ids > 0, < 65534. All failed. Here's an example:
[Tue Nov 9 11:31:53 1999] [notice] Apache/1.3.9 (Unix) PHP/4.0B2

Apache is exiting!
I don't want to have to set it to be as group users (100), as that
could easily cause a huge security hole. I've also tried 60001, which gave me
the same error above, s/2000/60001. Any other insights into this?
