On distros using Debian's base-passwd, the name of the group with gid 65534 is nogroup. Currently, systemd-sysusers creates a spurious "nobody" group systemd-sysusers[243]: Creating group nobody with gid 996 That's both confusing and redundant, as the nobody user still has primary group 65534 aka nogroup, and the nobody group simply goes completely unused. So explicitly specify the primary group of the nobody user, and add a line ensuring that that group exists. This is not a problem for Debian (or Ubuntu) itself, as they add their own version of basic.conf in their systemd build logic. But it appears on for example Yocto/OpenEmbedded.
