+This is a partial implementation of iSNS, according to RFC4171.
+
+The distribution comprises
+
+isnsd
+This is the iSNS server, supporting persistent storage
+of registrations in a file based database.
+
+isnsadm
+A command line utility for querying the iSNS database,
+and for registering/deregistering nodes and portals
+
+isnsdd
+An iSNS Discovery Daemon, which is still very much work
+in progress. The daemon is supposed to handle all the
+bit banging and server communications required to register
+a node, its portals, and to maintain the registration.
+It is also supposed to use the iSNS State Change Notification
+framework to learn of new targets or initiators coming online,
+and inform local services (such as the iSCSI initiator daemon)
+about these changes.
+
+NOTE
+Due to a static library dependency this Slackbuild is required to
+compile the Linux Open-iSCSI Initiator (open-iscsi). It is not required
+to run the initiator, therefore it does not need to be installed unless
+you intend to use any of the ISNS components on your network.
