If you are developing master pages for SharePoint, and you get errors like "An unexpected error has occurred" when viewing your site with your custom master page applied, then enabling stack traces and disabling custom error pages in web.config is a great way to help you diagnose the specific problems.
You can do this by setting <customErrors mode="Off" /> in web.config and the CallStack="true" property in the <SharePoint><SafeMode> tag in web.config.)

At my current project we ran into some configuration problems when getting SharePoint to work with the LDAP Membership provider. We are using Dirx as the directory service.
After configuring the settings as described in various articles, we were able to add users to a site and fill the profiles,
When we tried to log in with the user, a login failed appeared.
One more configuration setting solved the problem (thanx to Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector)
The setting is useDNAttribute. We couldn't find any documentation on this setting, but setting it to false worked!
<add name="LdapDirxMembership"
type="Microsoft.Office.Server.Security.LDAPMembershipProvider,
Microsoft.Office.Server, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71E9BCE111E9429C" server="10.145.192.207"
port="389"
useSSL="false"
useDNAttribute="false"
userDNAttribute="distinguishedName"
userNameAttribute="uid"
userContainer="ou=Extranet,o=Business"
userObjectClass="person"
userFilter="(ObjectClass=*)"
scope="Subtree"
otherRequiredUserAttributes="sn,cn"
/>
