+munin-node is the client portion of the Munin Monitoring system. It allows the
+Munin master to collect statistics for presentation in RRDTool time-series
+graphs.
+
+munin-node is a Perl application and requires several Perl modules as external
+dependencies:
+
+ Net::Server
+
+Additionally, the following modules are required for some plugins:
+
+ Net::SSLeay (for SSL connections)
+ Net::SNMP
+ Net::CIDR
+
+Munin requires that user munin exists and belongs to group munin. Create these
+before running the SlackBuild script:
+
+groupadd -g 308 munin
+useradd -u 308 -g 308 -s /sbin/nologin munin
+
+Once munin-node is installed, configure plugins per the Munin documentation.
