I've been building list servers on Redhat/Fedora for several years and the rpms for Fedora Core 1 and 2 have been especially easy to install and configure. You *should* be able to install mailman using yum (I use apt) without any difficulty. The rpm installation creates the user mailman and runs mailman under the group mailman. I seem to remember having the same issue that your having a couple of years ago but can't recall how I resolved it (that was many servers ago). If you do not have too much time invested in configuring your server, you may want to simply reload it. I have done several FC2 installs with the stock mailman rpms without any problems. I am curious about this issue but have to leave the office for a while and won't be able to research this now.
