+README.SLACKWARE for fail2ban
+
+==============================================================================
+
+Once you install the package, you can start using fail2ban by:
+  /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban start
+
+Additionally, you can add the following to rc.local for automatic startup:
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban ]; then
+  /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban start
+fi
+
+and add the following to rc.local_shutdown to stop fail2ban at shutdown:
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban ]; then
+  /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban stop
+fi
+
+The package contains logrotate script copied from fail2ban manual and 
+modified to reflect Slackware packaging.  You can find the original script at:
+  http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/MANUAL_0_8
+
+==============================================================================
+
+UPGRADING:
+
+Please make sure you have all your modifications done to .local files instead of 
+.conf files.  Upgrade **WILL OVERWRITE** files in place.
+
+Making modifications to .local files is the recommended practice as per the 
+software manual.  Each .conf file is overridden by equivalent .local file.
+Please refer Configuration section in fail2ban manual.
