+Logging
+--------
+
+If you want to enable logging, please first refer to HAProxy manual
+on how to enable logging and how to select which events to log.
+
+HAProxy log forwarding works fine with Slackware's sysklogd.
+
+There are example files located in /usr/doc/haproxy-*/examples
+The files are called syslog.example and logrotate.example. 
+
+You might want to add something like this to your haproxy.cfg file:
+
+global
+   log /dev/log local0
+
+--------
+Automatic starting/stopping upon system start/shutdown
+--------
+
+To start HAProxy automatically when system is booted, 
+add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+   if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.haproxy ]; then
+       /etc/rc.d/rc.haproxy start
+   fi
+
+To stop HAProxy on system shutdown, add following lines
+to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+
+   if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.haproxy ]; then
+       /etc/rc.d/rc.haproxy stop
+   fi
+
+--------
+Privileges
+--------
+
+Like with the most rc scripts /etc/rc.d/rc.haproxy should be 
+run as root. You can easily drop process privileges by specifying 
+another user (and group) in the main configuration file. 
+
+Add something like this to haproxy.cfg:
+
+global
+  user nobody
+  group nogroup
+
