[Mailman-Users] Problem with getting started

I have RedHat 9 and Mailman 2.1 (not 2.1.2). When using the RedHat command

# service mailman start

I get the following error traceback.


Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 524, in ?
     main()
   File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 319, in main
     check_privs()
   File "/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl", line 274, in check_privs
     gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2]
KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found

Has anyone seen this and is there a fix? I could not find anything resembling 
this in the archives on this list.

ALSO:

Are there any specific docs about initial setup and configuration. What is 
available seems pretty sketchy.

Thanks!!
