[Mailman-Users] Genaliases Command Help

When installing MailMan, the guide explains that I need to run the
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases to "to initialize your aliases file".
I do so as instructed and get the following response:

[root at mail bin]# ./genaliases
[root at mail bin]#

As you can see I am issued no errors or anything to that nature
however nothing ever generates an aliases file unless it's somewhere I
can't find. What am I doing wrong? I don't think this matters but the
permissions are listed below:

drwxrwsr-x  13 root mailman    4096 Oct  9 12:15 mailman

[root at mail lib]# cd mailman/

[root at mail mailman]# ls -l
total 44
drwxrwsr-x  2 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 bin
drwxrwsr-x  2 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 cgi-bin
drwxrwsr-x  2 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 cron

drwxrwsr-x 34 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 messages
drwxrwsr-x  6 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 pythonlib
drwxrwsr-x  2 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 scripts
drwxrwsr-x 35 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 templates
drwxrwsr-x  4 root mailman 4096 Oct  9 12:15 tests

Please help me understand what is going wrong.

Thanks!
