+Etcd is a distributed reliable key-value store for the most critical
+data of a distributed system, with a focus on being:
+ Simple: well-defined, user-facing API (gRPC)
+ Secure: automatic TLS with optional client cert authentication
+ Fast: benchmarked 10,000 writes/sec
+ Reliable: properly distributed using Raft
+
+Groupname and Username
+
+You must have the 'etcd' group and user to run this script,
+for example:
+
+ groupadd -g 355 etcd
+ useradd -d /var/lib/etcd -s /bin/sh -u 355 -g etcd etcd
+
+For some basic setup instructions, check the included 'README.SBo'.
