-====== Serial console ======
-If the machine is only providing serial output during bootup, then it may not have been configured for serial logins.  Check that the <code>/etc/inittab</code> file contains a line like
-  T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
-which tells init to start the program to provide login prompts.
-The original kernel shipped with Debian sarge has a broken serial driver for Ultra 5s.  The version in the security updates should work.
-====== Getting user information from [[ldap]] ======
-Make sure that <code>nscd</code> is installed, otherwise [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=190072|bad things]] may happen.
-Lots more should go here, but  doesn't have time right now.
-====== Authenticating with [[ldap]] ======
-Canonical <code>/etc/pam.d/common-auth</code>:
-  # ** Use trick from /usr/share/doc/libpam-ldap/README.Debian
-  #
-  auth    [success=1 default=ignore]      pam_unix.so nullok_secure
-  auth    required                        pam_ldap.so use_first_pass
-  auth    required                        pam_permit.so
-Note the <code>use_first_pass</code> option.  Without it logins will ask for a password for pam_unix, then one for pam_ldap, and so on, causing every other attempt to enter your password to fail even when you get it right.
-Some more should go here, but  doesn't have time right now.
