+This is a Slackbuild packaging of the Argus network auditing suite.
+Argus has two packages, "argus", which includes the monitoring agent,
+and "argus-clients", which includes all the tools you need to analyze
+Argus output. Similarly, I've create separate Slackbuilds; you will
+almost certainly also want to install argus-clients, possibly on some
+other machine.
+
+The package is built with the standard Slackbuilds autoconf-configure
+parameters. The package uses the contributed init script for the argus
+daemon with a couple of slight modifications. First, the init script
+doesn't test whether your interface is up before starting. Also, I've
+patched the script not to put the interface into promiscuous mode by
+default.
+
+By default, output is recorded to /var/log/argus/argus.out and is not
+automatically rotated.
