... when called with a valid environment variable name. This means that
any time we call it with a fixed string, it is guaranteed to return 0.
(Also when the variable is not present in the environment block.)
We would return ENOENT, which is extremely confusing. Strace is not helpful because
no *file* is actually missing. So let's add some logs at debug level and also use
a custom return code. Let all user-facing utilities print a custom error message
in that case.
Let's explicitly deactivate all home dirs on shutdown, in order to
properly synchronizing unmounting and avoiding blocking devices.
Previously, we'd rely on automatic deactivation when home directories
become unused. However, that scheme is asynchronous, and ongoing
deactviations might conflicts with attempts to unmount /home. Let's fix
that by providing an explicit service systemd-homed-activate.service
whose only job is to have a ExecStop= line that explicitly deactivates
all home directories on shutdown. This service can the be ordered after
home.mount and similar, ensuring that we'll first deactivate all homes
before deactivating /home itself during shutdown.
This is kept separate from systemd-homed.service so that it is possible
to restart systemd-homed.service without deactivating all home
directories.
Fixes: #16842
When debugging homed while being logged into a user account manged by
homed it is a good idea to be able to run a second copy of homed. In
order to not collide with its AF_UNIX socket and bus name use, let's add
a new env var $SYSTEMD_HOME_DEBUG_SUFFIX, when set the busnames/socket
names are suffixed by it. When setting this while debugging one can
invoke an additional copy without interfering with the host one.
Apparently both Fedora and suse default to btrfs now, it should hence be
good enough for us too.
This enables a bunch of really nice things for us, most importanly we
can resize home directories freely (i.e. both grow *and* shrink) while
online. It also allows us to add nice subvolume based home directory
snapshotting later on.
Also, whenever we mention the three supported types, alaways mention
them in alphabetical order, which is also our new order of preference.
Also, let's move the glue for this to src/shared/ so that we later can
reuse this in sysemd-firstboot.
Given that libpwquality is a more a leaf dependency, let's make it
runtime optional, so that downstream distros can downgrade their package
deps from Required to Recommended.
There's some highly specific PKCS#11 code in homectl.c. Let's split that
out, since it is easily isolatable, to make homectl.c a bit more
readable.
No funcional changes, just some moving around and renaming two functions
to make them more suitably named when exported.
When updating a home directory we might update the record first, then
resize the image and finally synchronize the passwords to the storage
layers. These are three individually authenticated operations. Since
each might require touching a FIDO2 or PKCS#11 key we should say what we
are doing. Hence do so.
Usually we are pretty quiet with what we do, and let's stick to that.
Hence show this information only if we actually do more than one thing.
If we only update (and do not resize/sync passwords) then let's be quiet
as usual, as the command line then sufficiently clarifies what we are
doing.
After all, when creating we might need interaction with the security
token too, and our initial attempt to create the user will fail, since
we do not allow interactive auth on the security token, so that we then
can print a log message and retry with interactive auth then enabled.
We'd like to use it for FIDO2 tokens too, and the concept is entirely
generic, hence let's just reuse the field, but rename it. Read the old
name for compatibility, and treat the old name and the new name as
identical for most purposes.
Presently, CLI utilities such as systemctl will check whether they have a tty
attached or not to decide whether to parse /proc/cmdline or EFI variable
SystemdOptions looking for systemd.log_* entries.
But this check will be misleading if these tools are being launched by a
daemon, such as a monitoring daemon or automation service that runs in
background.
Make log handling of CLI tools uniform by never checking /proc/cmdline or EFI
variables to determine the logging level.
Furthermore, introduce a new log_setup_cli() shortcut to set up common options
used by most command-line utilities.
This reworks the user validation infrastructure. There are now two
modes. In regular mode we are strict and test against a strict set of
valid chars. And in "relaxed" mode we just filter out some really
obvious, dangerous stuff. i.e. strict is whitelisting what is OK, but
"relaxed" is blacklisting what is really not OK.
The idea is that we use strict mode whenver we allocate a new user
(i.e. in sysusers.d or homed), while "relaxed" mode is when we process
users registered elsewhere, (i.e. userdb, logind, …)
The requirements on user name validity vary wildly. SSSD thinks its fine
to embedd "@" for example, while the suggested NAME_REGEX field on
Debian does not even allow uppercase chars…
This effectively liberaralizes a lot what we expect from usernames.
The code that warns about questionnable user names is now optional and
only used at places such as unit file parsing, so that it doesn't show
up on every userdb query, but only when processing configuration files
that know better.
Fixes: #15149#15090
"home" is okay-ish in English, but rather awkward in many other languages.
For example, even before this change, in fr.po we had "un espace personnel"
as the translation everywhere. Let's use a less overloaded term.
Fixes#14789.
