Whomever contributed the posix_getpwnam() function probably encountered an
error of some kind, but has not specified what error it is...

Can the PHP user (default 'nobody') actually execute this funtion?
Use <?php phpinfo();?> to find out what user PHP runs as.
If you have 'root' access, su to that username, and try to find some shell
commands to get info about that user.
If 'nobody' can't get the info, neither can PHP.
