Running Ubuntu Intrepid. Installed Dansguardian recently. When I try to start or restart dansguardian, I get the following error:
micah@micah-ubulaptop:~$ dansguardian
Unable to getgrnam(): SuccessI know this has something to do with the group in my dansguardian.conf file. The only thing I can see that relates to that is daemongroup which is commented out along with deamonuser.
Help please.

# There are various methods possible but not all are included.
# The author does not have the time to write them all so I have
# included a plugin systam. Also, not all methods work with all
# browsers and clients. Specifically some fancy methods don't
# work with software that downloads updates. To solve this,
# each plugin can support a regular expression for matching
# the client's user-agent string, and lists of the mime types
# and extensions it should manage.
#
# Note that these are the matching methods provided by the base plugin
# code, and individual plugins may override or add to them.
# See the individual plugin conf files for supported options.

# The plugins are matched in the order you specify and the last
# one is forced to match as the default, regardless of user agent
