+README.Slackware
+================
+
+This file contains some specific instructions to complete the
+installation of zabbix_agent2 on Slackware.
+
+0) Before running the SlackBuild script
+---------------------------------------
+
+0.1) zabbix group & user
+
+Before running the zabbix_agent2.SlackBuild script, you will need to create
+the 'zabbix' user and group as well as 'zabbixagent' user. The script won't
+run if these do not exist.
+
+The suggested UID and GID is 228 for 'zabbix' and 266 for 'zabbixagent',
+but you can change this as needed:
+
+  # groupadd -g 228 zabbix
+  # useradd -u 266 -g zabbix -d /dev/null -s /bin/false zabbixagent
+
+1) Configuring zabbix_agent2
+----------------------------
+
+A standard configuration file is installed as /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.conf
+
+At least the following lines need to be configured:
+ For passive checks:
+  Server=<ip_of_your_zabbix_server>
+ For active checks
+  Hostname=<hostname_of_your_zabbix_agent>
+  ServerActive=<ip_of_your_zabbix_server>
+
+2) Start & Stop scripts for zabbix agent daemon
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+2.1) Automatic startup and shutdown
+
+If you want to start zabbix_agent2 on system bootup, include these lines in
+your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+  # Start zabbix_agent2
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_agent2]; then
+    echo "Starting zabbix agent daemon..."
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_agent2 start
+  fi
+
+To guarantee a clean shutdown of zabbix_agent2, include this in
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
+
+  # Stop zabbix_agent2
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_agent2 ]; then
+    echo "Stopping zabbix agent daemon..."
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_agent2 stop
+  fi
+
+2.2) Make /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_agent2 executable
+
+Additionally, you'll have to set the rc script to be executable just like
+any other Slackware rc script:
+
+  # chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_agent2
+
+3) Starting zabbix agent daemon
+-------------------------------
+
+Now you are ready to start zabbix_agent2 by calling the startup script:
+
+  # /etc/rc.d/rc.zabbix_agent2 start
+
+You can check the log file (/var/log/zabbix/zabbig_agent2.log) in case of
+problems.
+
+Zabbix uses ports 10050 & 10051 to communicate, so make sure these aren't
+blocked on your network.
