You would install them as either root, or as the user of your web 
 server which could be nobody or it could be apache depending on your 
distribution.  Mailman is a very good program and manages lists very 
effectively.  The only downside is creation of new lists needs manual 
editing of the /etc/aliases file or if you are using virtualusertable 
then you have to modify that file as well as the /etc/aliases file.

make sure they are without world write access!!!
