## Adding new system user and group

If you are installing ClamAV for the first time, you have to add a new user and group to your system:

    	# groupadd clamav
    	# useradd -g clamav -s /bin/false -c "Clam AntiVirus" clamav

Consult a system manual if your OS has not groupadd and useradd utilities. Don't forget to lock access to the account!
