BUG in /etc/pinforc (Attn: pinfo maintainer)

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
