+dante (a free SOCKS client and server)
+
+Dante is a product developed by Inferno Nettverk A/S. It consists of
+a SOCKS server and a SOCKS client, implementing RFC 1928 and related
+standards. It is a flexible product that can be used to provide convenient
+and secure network connectivity.
+
+The Dante SOCKS server interoperates with many popular network
+applications which already have SOCKS support built in to them, such as
+most web-browsers, instant messaging programs, and many others. Dante is
+released under a BSD/CMU-type license and comes with complete source code.
+
+Extensive documentation is available at the Dante web site:
+
+https://www.inet.no/dante/doc/
+
+Slackware-specific notes:
+
+If libupnp is installed, Dante will be built with UPNP support.
+
+If you want to start sockd as a daemon on boot, start it from
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local. There's no init script provided with the package.
+This may change in the future, if there's enough interest (email the
+maintainer).
+
+No config files are installed by default. Sample config
+files are in /usr/doc/dante-$VERSION/example/, and also as
+/etc/sock[ds].conf.example. Dante can be used as a client without a
+config file (by setting SOCKS_SERVER in the environment, e.g.), but more
+fine-grained control is possible with /etc/socks.conf. Dante won't be
+very useful as a server (sockd) without a config file, so copy one of the
+sockd example configs to /etc/sockd.conf if you're going to run a server.
+
+Dante supports LDAP authentication, but the SlackBuild author hasn't
+tested building the support for it. The Dante configure script says
+you'll need to install "Kerberos/SASL/GSSAPI/LDAP" for this to work
+(and it should be autodetected, if everything is installed). If you try
+this, please email the maintainer with your results (success, failure,
+anything extra you had to do to make it work).
+
+The build doesn't include the "licensed modules" (purchase required)
+and there is no provision for adding them. These include the bandwidth
+and redirect modules.
