+The samhain open source host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) provides
+file integrity checking and logfile monitoring/analysis, as well as rootkit
+detection, port monitoring, detection of rogue SUID executables, and hidden
+processes.
+
+It has been designed to monitor multiple hosts with potentially different
+operating systems, providing centralized logging and maintenance, although it
+can also be used as standalone application on a single host.
+
+See README.SLACKWARE for setup and configuration information.
