Hi there,

If anyone here has any suggestions as to how I should answer the following 
questions in the Majordomo 2 installation routine, I would appreciate it:

1) What is the user ID that Majordomo will run as? (Either the numeric ID 
or the user name is fine.)

2) What is the group ID that Majordomo will run as? (Either the numeric ID 
or the group name is fine.)

3) What umask should Majordomo use? (The umask is the Unix method of 
restricting the permissions on newly created files and directories.)

4) Where will the Majordomo list data be kept?

5) Where can Majordomo place secure temporary files?

I have already had some suggestions, but more would be appreciated. I am 
running a virtual server with VServers and am not a UNIX guru, but have 
done enough reading to be dangerous.

I'm guessing that the answers to questions 1 and 2 are specific to my 
server, although if someone can tell me how I might arrive at answers 
myself that would be great.

There are some suggestions in the readme file for question 3, and I will 
probably follow those.

With respect to questions 4 and 5, any pointers (or pointers to where I can 
find the information) on the usual directory structure for a UNIX Web 
server running Apache would be appreciated -- specifically, I'd rather not 
create my own directories all over the place when "usual practice" would be 
to create them in a specific location, such as under the etc directory for 
example.

If this should be posted to the workers' list, my apologies. Thanks in advance.
