+ssh-chat (IRC-like chat server using ssh as a client)
+
+ssh-chat is a custom SSH server written in Go. Instead of a shell, you
+get a chat prompt.
+
+Note that this is only the server. There is no dedicated client: users
+just use ssh to connect to the server.
+
+This SlackBuild just repackages the official release binary, and does
+not attempt to compile anything.
+
+There is no startup script; if you want to run ssh-chat as a daemon,
+add something like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+if [ -x /usr/sbin/ssh-chat ]; then
+ cd /
+ /usr/sbin/ssh-chat <options> </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
+fi
+
+Replace <options> with whatever options you want (one of which should
+be --log). If you'd rather run as a non-root user, prefix the command
+with e.g. "su - nobody -s ", and make sure your --bind has a port
+numbered higher than 1024.
