I wrote the original page on the previous Debian wiki, which was, I believe, hosted by tarzeau (Gurkan Sengun). I copied the content to my own wiki later, and then the new Debian wiki got a copy of it from tarzeau's wiki. After that, the pages diverged. I don't know how to handle copyrights and licenses on wiki pages. Personally, I consider anything I put on any wiki to be public domain, and people can do whatever they want with it. More concerning, I believe, is how out of date a lot of the information is. Logins have become *much* more complicated in the last few years, especially with systemd involved. The old days, where I could understand all the pieces and describe how each piece worked, are long gone. I don't know whether *anyone* understands how logins work now. If they do, they're not documenting it anywhere I've seen.
