If you set up services on the machine, be sure to identify what they are, and provide details of their relevant configurations.

Identification of the file(s) to edit, along with working configs:

##
## package_thing.conf - configuration file for package_thing
##

############ GENERAL PARAMETERS #################
Server=blah.offbyone.lan
Hostname=sample

Be sure to do an entry for each relevant config file. The idea is to allow someone else to replicate the work you've done (that someone could easily be you).

Explanation of important topic relevant to the service your machine is providing.
