has anyone used this gui program for proftpd?

iam trying it out now and its very very easy but iam stuck on this 1 part...

i get this error when i try to start the ftp server..

blingbling:/location1/location2# gproftpd
- no such group 'nobody'
- Fatal: Group: Unknown group 'nobody'.

i dont understand what to put here... this is what would fix it...
this server runs as this user: nobody
this server runs as this group: nobody

i have to change it to something and i dono to what or even how?

can anyone help me out?

Sounds like you need to create the "nobody" group on your machine. You may have this in your graphical window somewhere, but I dont know a single thing about the GUI. At the command line, you just type "groupadd nobody" and then try your changes again.
