contacts.cfg file errors when running pre-flight

[Lori Adams]

" The contactgroups membership has to be defined via the directive
 "members" of a contactgroups object, not via "contactgroups" in a
 contacts object."

So they gave you the error message and exactly what was wrong.

What you have shown us is that you are defining a contact, not a
contactgroup.  Just remove the contactgroups directive from you contact
config.

Then in the contactgroups config for admins, add "members 	Bryant".

See the documentation on object configurations for both contacts and
contactgroups.
