+<h3>System setup</h3>
+
+ <p><em>You will need to be <b>root</b> to perform the steps in this
+ section.</em>
+
+ <p>Before installing the Mailman software, you need to prepare your
+ system by adding certain users and groups.
+
+ <ul>
+
+ <li>Add a new user called <code>mailman</code>. Typically
+ this is added to your <code>/etc/passwd</code> file. If
+ username <code>mailman</code> is already in use, choose
+ something else unique and see the
+ <code>--with-ownername</code> flag below.
+
+ <p><li>Add a new group called <code>mailman</code>. Typically this
+ is added to your <code>/etc/group</code> file. The Mailman
+ files will be installed under the <code>mailman</code> group,
+ with the <em>set-group-id</em> bit. This is so both the web
+ based and mail based programs will have the proper write
+ permissions. If groupname <code>mailman</code> is already in
+ use, choose something else unique and see the
+ <code>--with-ownergroup</code> below.
+
+ <p><li>Create an installation directory (called <code>$prefix</code>
+ in the documentation that follows). All of the Mailman files
+ will be installed under <code>$prefix</code>. Run
+ <code>configure --help</code> for ways to split the
+ installation up based on read-only vs. read/write files.
+
+ <p>The default directory for installing is
+ <code>/home/mailman</code>, but some sites do things like
+ mount <code>/home</code> with the <em>nosuid</em> option.
+ This will break Mailman, which relies on setgid programs for
+ its security. If this describes your environment, simply
+ install Mailman in a location that allows setgid programs.
+
+ <p>Make sure this directory is set to group <code>mailman</code>
+ (or whatever you're going to specify as
+ <code>--with-ownergroup</code>) and has the setgid bit set
+ (but see the README.BSD file in the source distribution if
+ you're on a BSD system). You probably also want to guarantee
+ that this directory is readable and executable by everyone.
+ For example, these shell commands will accomplish this:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+% cd $prefix
+% chgrp mailman .
+% chmod a+rx,g+ws .
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+ You are now ready to configure and install the Mailman software.
+ </ul>
