+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:

+
+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.
+

+-	Simplified rc script removing unnecessary startup options which have now
+	become standard.
