			* A word on PAM
			** A problem that arose was that su was not able to do anything and several commands could not be run as root or through sudo, such as the passwd command
			** To fix this: look in /var/log/messages and grep for pam or su errors and see if it is having trouble opening a module; the one we ran into was pam_ldap.so which was in a directory that did not exist, /lib/security.
			** If that is the problem, a quick fix is to go through all the pam configs in /etc/pam.d, look for all references to the specified module, and comment those lines out
			** If you need that module, provide one in the path that PAM is looking at.

Hacking in to Indiana

			==== Reboot problems ====

			A subset of the config files appear to get zorched on reboot. We have to fix this before Indiana goes into production.

			Stuff you may need to rebuild if this goes wrong again:

			* Get the acp_commander file from craig or laurence's directory
			* Run using X forwarding - <code>ssh -Y cluster.earlham.edu</code> - by running <code>java -jar acp_commander</code>
			* Connect to 159.28.23.30 (not the 10.10), port 22936 , admin password is the usual
			* <code>whoami</code> # command line, confirms you're root
			* click "Enable SSH"
			* <code>chown admin:admin ~admin/.ssh</code> # command line, makes sure admin owns its own ssh directory
			* <code>/etc/init.d/sshd.sh start</code> # command line, starts the SSH service
			* Run other commands to debug. Note that you can use /mnt/array1/indiana as a place to run debugging
