+
+<P>
+If your version of crontab supports the <b class="programopt">-u</b> option, you must be
+root to do this next step. Add <span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/cron/crontab.in</span> as a
+crontab entry by executing these commands:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+ % cd $prefix/cron
+ % crontab -u mailman crontab.in
+</pre></div>
+
+<P>
+If you used the <b class="programopt">--with-username</b> option, use that user name
+instead of <code>mailman</code> for the <b class="programopt">-u</b> argument value. If your
+crontab does not support the <b class="programopt">-u</b> option, try these commands:
+
+<P>
+<div class="verbatim"><pre>
+ % cd $prefix/cron
+ % su - mailman

+<DD>Note that
+if you're upgrading from a previous version of Mailman, you'll want to install
+the new crontab, but be careful if you're running multiple Mailman
+installations on your site! Changing the crontab could mess with other
+parallel Mailman installations.
