+lighttpd is a fast, secure, and flexible webserver. It is optimized
+for high-performance environments, and provides an extensive feature
+set, including FastCGI, CGI, Auth, output compression, and URL
+rewriting support.
+
+By default, this package uses the "lighttpd" user and group to run
+lighttpd as a unpriviliged process. The script will exit if these
+do not exist on this machine. We recommend using the following
+UID and GID as they do not conflict with any stock Slackware users
+and groups, nor with any added by other slackbuilds.org scripts.
+
+ lighttpd
+ ========
+ User: lighttpd UID: 208 GID: 208
+ Group: lighttpd GID: 208
+
+After that, lighttpd can be started and stopped through the
+initialization script that is provided:
+
+/etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd start
+/etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd stop
+
+If you would like to start lighttpd automatically when the system
+is booted, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd start
+ fi
+
+Conversely, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+to stop lighttpd on system shutdown.
+
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.lighttpd stop
+ fi
