+Hello!
+
+Thanks for downloading Linux-PAM.
+
+NOTES:
+
+How to use it is as follows:
+
+      ./configure --help | less
+      ./configure <your-options>
+      make
+
+To make sure everything was compiled correct, run:
+
+      make check
+
+If a test failes, you should not continue to install this build.
+
+Note, if you are worried - don't even think about doing the next line
+(most Linux distributions already support PAM out of the box, so if
+something goes wrong with installing the code from this version your
+box may stop working..)
+
+      make install
+
+That said, please report problems to the bug reporting database
+on sourceforge.net.
+
+You can run additional checks after installing by executing
+
+      make xtests
+
+as root.
+
+If you do not wish to make the modules dynamically loadable, but
+build a static libpam including all PAM modules, you have to call:
+
+      ./configure --enable-static-modules
+
+In this case you cannot use pam_unix in the PAM config files instead you
+have to use pam_unix_acct, pam_unix_auth, pam_unix_passwd and
+pam_unix_session.
+
+To regenerate manual pages from the XML source files you need the
+docbook-xsl stylesheets in version 1.69.1 or newer, older versions had
+a bug which generates a broken layout.
