+The conntrack-tools are a set of userspace tools that allow system
+administrators to interact with the Connection Tracking System (the
+module that provides stateful packet inspection for iptables). The
+conntrack-tools include the userspace daemon conntrackd and the
+command line interface conntrack.
+
+This requires libnfnetlink and libnetfilter_conntrack, both of which
+are also available from SlackBuilds.org.
