+OpenBSM Build and Installation Instructions
+
+OpenBSM is currently built using autoconf and automake, which should allow
+for building on a range of operating systems, including FreeBSD, Mac OS X,
+and Linux. Depending on the availability of audit facilities in the
+underlying operating system, some components that depend on kernel audit
+support are built conditionally. Typically, build will be performed using:
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+
+To install, use:
+
+ make install
+
+You may wish to specify that the OpenBSM components not be installed in the
+base system, rather in a specific directory. This may be done using the
+--prefix argument to configure. If installing to a specific directory,
+remember to update your library path so that running tools from that
+directory the correct libbsm is used:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/home/rwatson/openbsm
+ make
+ make install
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/rwatson/openbsm/libbsm ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+You will need to manually propagate openbsm/etc/* into /etc/security on your
+system; this is not done automatically so as to avoid disrupting the current
+configuration. Currently, the locations of these files is not configurable.
