systemd-networkd runs as user "systemd-network" and thus is not privileged to
set the transient hostname:
systemd-networkd[516]: ens3: Could not set hostname: Interactive authentication required.
Standard polkit *.policy files do not have a syntax for granting privileges to
a user, so ship a pklocalauthority (for polkit < 106) and a JavaScript rules
file (for polkit >= 106) that grants the "systemd-network" system user that
privilege.
Add DnsmasqClientTest.test_transient_hostname() test to networkd-test.py to
cover this. Make do_test() a bit more flexible by interpreting "coldplug==None"
as "test sets up the interface by itself". Change DnsmasqClientTest to set up
test_eth42 with a fixed MAC address so that we can configure dnsmasq to send a
special host name for that.
Fixes#4646
DNS servers which have route-only domains should only be used for
the specified domains. Routing queries about other domains there is a privacy
violation, prone to fail (as that DNS server was not meant to be used for other
domains), and puts unnecessary load onto that server.
Introduce a new helper function dns_server_limited_domains() that checks if the
DNS server should only be used for some selected domains, i. e. has some
route-only domains without "~.". Use that when determining whether to query it
in the scope, and when writing resolv.conf.
Extend the test_route_only_dns() case to ensure that the DNS server limited to
~company does not appear in resolv.conf. Add test_route_only_dns_all_domains()
to ensure that a server that also has ~. does appear in resolv.conf as global
name server. These reproduce #3420.
Add a new test_resolved_domain_restricted_dns() test case that verifies that
domain-limited DNS servers are only being used for those domains. This
reproduces #3421.
Clarify what a "routing domain" is in the manpage.

* test: check resolved generated resolv.conf in networkd-test
Directly verify the contents of /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf instead of
/etc/resolv.conf. The latter might be a plain file or a symlink to something
else (like Debian's resolvconf output), and in these cases we cannot make
strong assumptions about the contents.
Drop the "/etc/resolv.conf is a symlink" conditions and the "resolv.conf can
have at most three nameservers" alternatives, as we know that resolved always
adds all nameservers.
Explicitly start resolved at the start of a test to ensure that it is running.
* test: get along with existing system search domains in resolv.conf
The previous change has uncovered a bug in the tests: Existing search domains
can exist in resolv.conf which test_search_domains{,_too_long} didn't take into account.
As existing domains take some of the "max 6 domains" and "max 255 chars" limit,
don't expect that the last items from our test data actually appears in the
output, just the first few.
With commit 6f7da49d00 route-only domains do not get put into resolv.conf's
"search" list any more. Add a comment about the tri-state, to clarify its
semantics and why we are passing a bool parameter into an int type. Also add a
test case for it.
The long name is just too hard to type. We generally should avoid using
acronyms too liberally, if they aren't established enough, but it appears that
"RA" is known well enough. Internally we call the option "ipv6_accept_ra"
anyway, and the kernel also exposes it under this name. Hence, let's rename the
IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements= setting and the
[IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements] section to IPv6AcceptRA= and [IPv6AcceptRA].
The old setting IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements= is kept for compatibility with
older configuration. (However the section [IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements] is
not, as it was never available in a published version of systemd.
Write comments about "too many search domains" and "Total length of all search
domains is too long" just once. Also put it on a separate line, as
resolv.conf(5) only specifies comments in a line by themselves.
This is ugly to do if write_resolv_conf_search() gets called once for every
search domain. So change it to receive the complete OrderedSet instead and do
the iteration by itself.
Add test cases to networkd-test.py.

This uses temporary configuration in /run and temporary veth devices, and does
not write anything on disk or change any system configuration; but it assumes
(and checks at the beginning) that networkd is not currently running.
This can be run on a normal installation, in QEMU, nspawn, or LXC.
As this requires root privileges, this is not integrated into "make check".
