Given a container "foo", that maps user id $UID to container user, using
user namespaces, this NSS module extenstion will now map the $UID to a
name "vu-foo-$TUID" for the translated UID $UID.
Similar, userns groups are mapped to "vg-foo-$TGID" for translated GIDs
of $GID.
This simple change should make userns users more discoverable. Also,
given that many tools like "adduser" check NSS before allocating a UID,
should lower the chance of UID range conflicts between tools.
If GetManagedObjects is called on /foo/bar, then it should also include
the object /foo/bar, if it exists. Right now, we only include objects
underneath /foo/bar/.
This follows the behavior of existing dbus implementations.
Obsoletes #527 and fixes#525. Reported by: Nathaniel McCallum
According to os-release(5), VERSION_ID is not mandatory and BUILD_ID only
needs to be unique underneath VERSION_ID. Therefore, assuming a missing
VERSION_ID field means 'empty', we can rely on BUILD_ID to be unique.
Use BUILD_ID if VERSION_ID is not present. This way, rolling-release
distros can still provide a proper os-release entry without crafting
random VERSION_ID strings.
This fixes#186.
There is no guarantee that the os-release section contains each key only
once, nor any guarantee that all keys are present. Make sure we properly
free memory in both cases.
Not that it matters much, as we're short-living, anyway. But correct code
is always nicer to read..
All other *_get_description() functions use 'const char**', so make sure
sd_bus_slot_get_description() does the same.
This changes API, but ABI stays stable. I think this is fine, but I
wouldn't mind bumping SONAME.
Reported in #528.
It is no different to return 0 over 1 in the property
callback. It is confusing to return 1 which made me think
1 has a special purpose. This way code is consistent with
the rest of the tree.
autogen.sh, .dir-locals.el, .vimrc, .ycm_extra_conf.py, .travis.yml,
.mailmap files are only useful with the source tree, for the
developers. Do not install these files as documentation on the
end-user systems, but keep them distributed with the tarball.
Right now, if you're already in a session and call CreateSession, we
return information about the current session of yours. This is highy
confusing and a nasty hack. Avoid that, and instead return a commonly
known error, so the caller can detect that.
This has the side-effect, that we no longer override XDG_VTNR and XDG_SEAT
in pam_systemd, if you're already in a session. But this sounds like the
right thing to do, anyway.
Old gdm and lightdm start the user-session during login before they
destroy the greeter-session. Therefore, the user-session will take over
the VT from the greeter. We recently prevented this by never allowing
multiple sessions on the same VT. Fix this now, by explicitly allowing
this if the owning session is a GREETER.
Note that gdm no longer behaves like this. Instead, due to wayland, they
always use a different VT for each session. All other login-managers are
highly encouraged to destroy the greeter-session _before_ starting the
user-session. We now work around this, but this will probably not last
forever (and will already have nasty side-effects on the greeter-session).
The latest consolidation cleanup of write_string_file() revealed some users
of that helper which should have used write_string_file_no_create() in the
past but didn't. Basically, all existing users that write to files in /sys
and /proc should not expect to write to a file which is not yet existant.
Merge write_string_file(), write_string_file_no_create() and
write_string_file_atomic() into write_string_file() and provide a flags mask
that allows combinations of atomic writing, newline appending and automatic
file creation. Change all users accordingly.
