 [error] [client 132.239.1.66] getpwuid: invalid userid -1

in ancient linux distro, nobody was 65534 (-1)
nowdays it's used to be 99

e.g. : Reddy 7.3

# grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin
nfsnobody:x:65534:65534:Anonymous NFS User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin

It seems like  you are accessing something with user 65534 and mod_ssl
complains that no such uid is in your /etc/passwd
i hope this may help
