+Once you install the package, you can start using fail2ban by:
+1. mv /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban.new /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban
+2. chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.fail2ban
+3. /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 for to stop 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 to the default .conf files
+in .local files. Upgrade **WILL OVERWRITE** files in place.
+Making modifications to .local files is the recommended practice as per the
+software manual. Each .conf file can be overridden by equivalent .local file.
+Please refer Configuration section in fail2ban manual.
+
+Changelog:
+
+- Simplified rc script removing unnecessary startup options which have now
+ become standard.
+- minor fix in slackbuild.
+- doinst.sh now makes /var/run/fail2ban to house pid and socket files.
