+Nagios is a powerful monitoring system that enables organizations to identify 
+and resolve IT infrastructure problems before they affect critical business 
+processes.
+
+Nagios requires a "nagios" user and group; create these before running the 
+SlackBuild script. Examples:
+
+	# groupadd -g 213 nagios
+	# useradd -u 213 -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -g nagios nagios
+
+For some scripts to work, it is necessary to include the 'apache' user in 
+the nagios group.
+
+For some functions (most notably the "map" function), you need to have X 
+installed on your server. You do not have to start X though, nagios just 
+needs some of the libraries and fonts.
+
+This SlackBuild installs the basic nagios system in /var/www/htdocs/
+To change the location, set the DOCROOT variable:
+	# DOCROOT=/your/docroot/dir ./nagios.SlackBuild
+
+For a useful setup, you will want to have nagios-plugins installed.
+
+To configure nagios, some knowledge of httpd is required.  Check the included 
+'README.Slackware' file for some basic setup instructions. The include file 
+for httpd is installed as /etc/httpd/extra/nagios.conf
+
+Lots of information is available in the included documentation, and even more
+can be found on the nagios site and wiki <http://wiki.nagios.org>.
