![[Note]](stylesheet-images/note.png) | Samhain as a client/server system |
|---|---|
This chapter focuses on building a standalone samhain executable. For a client/server system, client and server executable are built from the same source, but with different options for the 'configure' script (see Section 4 ). Please refer to the chapter Chapter 6 for an explanation of the client/server setup. |
