+rd - privilege elevator
+=======================
+rd is a simple privilege elevator.
+
+requirements
+------------
+rd requires libcrypt to verify passwords.  if password verification is
+disabled, libcrypt is no longer required.
+
+installation
+------------
+rd comes with a Makefile and config.mk file for building.  edit config.mk to
+match your local setup (rd is installed into the /usr/local namespace by
+default; you may need to modify your $PATH).
+
+rd can be built and installed with the following command (run as root):
+
+    make install
+
+
+configuration
+-------------
+rd can be configured by modifying the macros defined in config.mk and
+(re)compiling the source code.  building without the -DPASS macro is required
+for executing as users with locked passwords as it bypasses the password entry
+stage.  building without the -DTERM macro may be required on some non-Linux
+systems.
