- error codes are returned as negative Exxx. i.e. return -EINVAL. There
are some exceptions: for constructors its is OK to return NULL on
OOM. For lookup functions NULL is fine too for "not found".
- Do not issue NSS requests (that includes user name and host name
lookups) from the main daemon as this might trigger deadlocks when
we those lookups involve synchronously talking to services that we
would need to start up.
- Do not acccess any directories outside of /etc/, /dev, /lib from the
init daemon to avoid deadlocks with the automounter.
- Don't synchronously talk to any other service, due to risk of
deadlocks.
