Hi,

I am running lighttpd in a 2.6 eabi installation. All seems well except that it 
cannot start if I configure it with a user and group name.

A quick dredge of the source shows it calls two library functions: getpwnam 
getgrpnam. These are apparently failing are returning null pointers.

The user name exists in /etc/passwd and the corresponding group id is defined 
in /etc/group.

Is anyone aware why this should be failing? I don't want to go live with this 
thing running as root.

TIA.
