+<H1>General LDAP Documentation</H1>
+<p>
+debian.org uses a single LDAP driven directory for account managment across
+all the project run <a href="/machines.cgi">machines</a>. This directory
+also provides services for leaving vacation notices, updating
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc">xplanet</a> coordinates,
+email forwarding, ssh authentication keys and other information.
+<p>
+Note: master and va do not presently use the LDAP directory. Only lully
+uses replicated SSH RSA authentication keys and master does not use the
+email forwarding field (but all other machines do)
+<h1>Security and Privacy</h1>
+Three levels of information security are provided by the database. The first
+is completely public information that anyone can see either by issuing an
+LDAP query or by visiting the web site. The next level is "maintainer-only"
+information that requires authentication to the directory before it can be
+accessed. The final level is admin-only or user-only information; this
+information can only be viewed by the user or an administrator.
+<p>
+Maintainer-only information includes precise location information
+[postalcode, postal address, lat/long] telephone numbers, and the vacation
+message.
+<p>
+Admin-only/user-only information includes email forwarding, ssh keys and
+the encrypted password. Note that email forwarding is necessarily publicly
+viewable from accounts on the actual machines.
+<p>
+Entries in the directory are keyed to the developers PGP key, whoever has that
+key can make any change to the directory through the mail interface.
+<h1>Access</h1>
+The directory has several means to access it:
+<ul>
+<li><a href="https://db.debian.org/login.cgi">SSL Web Forms</a>
+<li>Finger gateway, <tt>finger foo@debian.org</tt>
+<li><a href="doc-mail.html">Mail gateway</a>
+<li><a href="doc-direct.html">Direct LDAP Access</a>
+<li>LDAP command line tools such as <tt>ud-info</tt>
+</ul>
