Similarly, I've create separate Slackbuilds; you will +almost certainly also want to install argus-clients, possibly on some +other machine. + +The package is built with the standard Slackbuilds autoconf-configure +parameters. The package uses the contributed init script for the argus +daemon with a couple of slight modifications. First, the init script +doesn't test whether your interface is up before starting. Also, I've +patched the script not to put the interface into promiscuous mode by +default. + +By default, output is recorded to /var/log/argus/argus.out and is not +automatically rotated. |
