+zabbix_agentd is the Linux agent daemon used to monitor Linux boxes
+and send the data to the zabbix server.
+
+Zabbix offers advanced monitoring, alerting and visualization features,
+including distributed monitoring, auto-discovery, notifications, etcetera.
+
+zabbix_agentd needs to run under its own user/group. This has been assigned to
+the following by SlackBuilds.org, but feel free to change it on your
+system for consistency with local assignments.
+ User: zabbix UID: 228 GID: 228
+ group: zabbix GID: 228
+
+You can pass alternate values for the user and group using
+ZABBIXUSER and ZABBIXGROUP variables when running the build script.
+
+For some important post-build and basic configuration instructions,
+see the included README.SLACKWARE file.
