There is no authpf user, only a group (which is the owner of the authpf
binary). It was this that blew the whole thing up. "id -g" takes a
_user_name as an argument and returns it effective group, hence the check
does not do what it claims to do (i.e. checking for group existance)!

You can cvsup and get a Makefile.inc1 w/o the check (checking for user proxy
should be enough for those who forgot to read UPDATING). I'll update
Makefile.inc1 shortly with a more correct version of the checks and close
the related PR.
