User "nobody" required, even when User directive and --server-uid set to another.

           Summary: User "nobody" required, even when User directive and --
                    server-uid set to another.
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: simon@niftywerks.com


I was getting the error "httpd: bad user name nobody". The user/group specified during 
compile, and in the configuraion file was "www". I even tried passing the "User" directive 
to httpd at the comand line. Creating the user "nobody" allowed httpd to boot, and child 
processes were passed to the user "www" correctly.
