We should avoid duplicating lengthy description of very similar concepts.
--root-hash-sig follows the same semantics as RootHashSig=, so just refer
the reader to the other man page. --root-hash doesn't implement the same
features as RootHash=, so we can't fully replace the description, but let's
give the user a hint to look at the other man page too.
For #17177.
Also, reword the description a bit. "As a string" is meaningless in the context
of commandline arguments, where evyrything is a string. This is not a
strongly-typed programming language where 5 is a number but "5" is something
completely different. Here both 5 and "5" are indistinguishable. The original
text was trying to say that a location name should be given and not a number,
so say "time zone location name".
For #17177.
In table titles, capitalize only the first word (they are rather long and
it is easier to read when it looks like a normal sentence).
Adjust some phrases to make them clearer when reported as unclear in #17177.
It can be one of "foreign", "missing", "stub", "static", "uplink",
depending on how /etc/resolv.conf is set up:
foreign → someone/something else manages /etc/resolv.conf,
systemd-resolved is just the consumer
missing → /etc/resolv.conf is missing altogether
stub/static/uplink → the file is managed by resolved, with the
well-known modes
Fixes: #17159
It always was the intention to expose this as trusted field _TID=, i.e.
automatically determine it from journald via some SCM_xyz field or so,
but this is never happened, and it's unlikely this will be added anytime
soon to the kernel either, hence let's just generate this sender side,
even if it means it's untrusted.
Adds support for LUKS detached header device on kernel
command line. It's introduced via extension to existing
luks.options 'header=' argument beyond colon (see examples
below). If LUKS header device is specified it's expected
to contain filesystem with LUKS header image on a path
specified in the first part of header specification.
The second parameter 'luks.data' specifies LUKS data device
supposed to be paired with detached LUKS header (note that
encrypted LUKS data device with detached header is unrecognisable
by standard blkid probe).
This adds support for LUKS encrypted rootfs partition with
detached header. It can also be used for initializing online LUKS2
encryption of data device.
Examples:
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=/dev/sdz
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=/dev/vg/lv
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=/dev/mapper/lv
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=PARTUUID=<part_uuid>
luks.data=<luks_uuid>=PARTLABEL=<part_uuid>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:UUID=<fs_uuid>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:PARTUUID=<part_uuid>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:PARTLABEL=<part_label>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:LABEL=<fs_label>
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:/dev/sdx
luks.options=<luks_uuid>=header=/header/path:/dev/vg/lv
The '/header/path' is considered to be relative location within
filesystem residing on the header device specified beyond colon
character
The directory backend needs a file system path, and not a raw block
device. That's only supported for the LUKS2 backend.
Let's make this clearer in the man page and also generate a better error
message if attempted anyway.
Fixes: #17068
By default we'll run a container in --console=interactive and
--console=read-only mode depending if we are invoked on a tty or not so
that the container always gets a /dev/console allocated, i.e is always
suitable to run a full init system /as those typically expect a
/dev/console to exist).
With the new --console=autopipe mode we do something similar, but
slightly different: when not invoked on a tty we'll use --console=pipe.
This means, if you invoke some tool in a container with this you'll get
full inetractivity if you invoke it on a tty but things will also be
very nicely pipeable. OTOH you cannot invoke a full init system like
this, because you might or might not become a /dev/console this way...
Prompted-by: #17070
(I named this "autopipe" rather than "auto" or so, since the default
mode probably should be named "auto" one day if we add a name for it,
and this is so similar to "auto" except that it uses pipes in the
non-tty case).
3e5f04bf64 was trying to do the right thing, but
the resulting list does not match the autogenerated order (which is the same as
the order in vtable definition). I assume the addition was done manually. Fix
the order so that dbus-docs-fresh test is not unhappy.
With new directive SystemCallLog= it's possible to list system calls to be
logged. This can be used for auditing or temporarily when constructing system
call filters.

Heavily inspired by #15622. This adds:
systemctl service-log-level systemd-resolved
systemctl service-log-level systemd-resolved info
systemctl service-log-target systemd-resolved
systemctl service-log-target systemd-resolved console
We already have systemctl verbs log-level, log-target, and service-watchdogs.
Those two new verbs tie nicely into this scheme.
The manual states that a persistent timer triggers it's service
immediately on activation to catch up with missed invocations, but since
PR #11608 it is no longer the case if RandomizedDelaySec= is set to a
non-zero value.
Closes#12624.
The formatting in systemd.socket.xml is updated a bit.
Currently in_addr_port_ifindex_name_to_string() always prints the ifindex
numerically. This is not super useful since the interface numbers are
semi-random. Should we use interface names in preference?
KEY_RESTART is widely used in Linux to indicate device reboot.
So lets handle it in the same fashion as KEY_POWER.

The list was rather ad hoc, with "reset-failed" sandwiched between
"help" and "list-dependencies". Since a person will usually either want
to introspect state in various ways or modify state in a certain way, let's
put all the introspection commands together and all the ones that actually
have an effect second.
sd_seat_get_sessions() would return 0 in the 'n_uids' (now 'ret_n_uids') output
parameter when 'uid' (now 'ret_uids') was passed as NULL.
While at it, drop FOREACH_WORD() use.
Also use any whitespace as separator. In practice this shouldn't matter, since
logind always uses spaces, but it seems nicer to not specify this explicitly,
and the default is more flexible.
The new methods work as the unflavoured ones, but takes flags as a
single uint64_t DBUS parameters instead of different booleans, so
that it can be extended without breaking backward compatibility.
Add new flag to allow adding/removing symlinks in
[/etc|/run]/systemd/system.attached so that portable services
configuration files can be self-contained in those directories, without
affecting the system services directories.
Use the new methods and flags from portablectl --enable.
Useful in case /etc is read-only, with only the portable services
directories being mounted read-write.
Let's make sure the sd_listen_fd() docs are really found from the
.socket file documentation as well as the FileDescriptorStoreMax=
documentation.
Let's also emphasize that that's where the order in which the fds are
passed are documented.
Fixes: #16647
I started working on a command-line switch to show passwords also in
"pretty" mode. I can submit that code for review if anyone thinks that
woul be useful, but after writing the man page I realized that it's a
fairly niche case, and the hint in the man page is a sufficient
replacement.
Let's document the discrepancy between the Sec and USec suffixing of
unit files and D-Bus properties at three places: in "systemctl show"
(where it already was briefly mentioned), in the D-Bus interface
description (at one place at least, i.e. the most prominent of
properties that encapsulate time values, there are many more) and in the
general man page explaining time values.
By documenting this at all three places I think we now do as much as we
can do about this highlighting the discrepancy of the naming and the
reasons behind it.
Fixes: #2047
This makes use of the developer mode switch: the test is only done
if the user opted-in into developer mode.
Before the man/update-dbus-docs was using the argument form where
we don't need to run find_command(), but that doesn't work with test(),,
so find_command() is used and we get one more line in the config log.
The fix from cb263973ac was made the other way around,
i.e. `SIGKILL` was changed to `SIGUSR1`, but the sentence is about a "termination signal", i.e. `SIGKILL`, not `SIGUSR1`.
Commands like build/man/man journald.conf.d would show the installed
man page (or an error if the page cannot be found in the global search
path), and not the one in the build directory. If the man page is
a redirect, or the .html is a symlink, resolve it, build the target,
and show that.
Follow the same model established for RootImage and RootImageOptions,
and allow to either append a single list of options or tuples of
partition_number:options.
The concept is flawed, and mostly useless. Let's finally remove it.
It has been deprecated since 90a2ec10f2 (6
years ago) and we started to warn since
55dadc5c57 (1.5 years ago).
Let's get rid of it altogether.
Timestamps for unit start/stop are recorded with microsecond granularity,
but status and show truncate to second granularity by default.
Add a --timestamp=pretty|us|utc option to allow including the microseconds
or to use the UTC TZ to all timestamps printed by systemctl.
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.
The description didn't really explain how the distribution mechanism
works exactly and the relationship of leaf and slice units.
Update the documentation and also explicitly explain the expected
behaviour as it is created by the memory_recursiveprot cgroup2 mount
option.
This comes up occasionally with new users. The phrase "Logs begin ..." is
ambiguous because it can be taken to mean the logs being displayed or all logs
(the intended meaning). Let's rephrase this as "Journal begins ..." to make
this clearer.
I am pretty sure /etc/hosts (i.e. an explicitly configured, local,
trusted database) should be useful for overriding the automatic
myhostname logic.
resolved's internal logic handles it that way and hence we should
suggest it in the NSS fallback line, too.
Let's also bring the factory file back into sync with what the docs say.
And update the prose a bit too, to actually match what we recommend.
Follows the same pattern and features as RootImage, but allows an
arbitrary mount point under / to be specified by the user, and
multiple values - like BindPaths.
Original implementation by @topimiettinen at:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/14451
Reworked to use dissect's logic instead of bare libmount() calls
and other review comments.
Thanks Topi for the initial work to come up with and implement
this useful feature.
99e015e28c missed to update the example
below - DHCPv6.AssignAcquiredDelegatedPrefixAddress was moved to
DHCPv6PrefixDelegation.Assign.
As it already defaulted to true since it's introduction in
9efa8a3cff, there's no need to explicitly
list it at all.
Allows to specify mount options for RootImage.
In case of multi-partition images, the partition number can be prefixed
followed by colon. Eg:
RootImageOptions=1:ro,dev 2:nosuid nodev
In absence of a partition number, 0 is assumed.
There are a lot of edge cases that the current implementation
doesn't handle, especially in cases where one of passwd/shadow
exists and the other doesn't exist. For example, if
--root-password is specified, we will write /etc/shadow but
won't add a root entry to /etc/passwd if there is none.
To fix some of these issues, we constrain systemd-firstboot to
only modify /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow if both do not exist
already (or --force) is specified. On top of that, we calculate
all necessary information for both passwd and shadow upfront so
we can take it all into account when writing the actual files.
If no root password options are given --force is specified or both
files do not exist, we lock the root account for security purposes.
This reverts commit 0b57803630.
From https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/16503#issuecomment-660212813:
systemd-vconsole-setup (the binary) is supposed to run asynchronously by udev
therefore ordering early interactive services after systemd-vconsole-setup.service
has basically no effect.
Let's remove this paragraph. It's better to say nothing than to give pointless
advice.
Let's use the new flag wherever we read key material/passphrases/hashes
off disk, so that people can plug in their own IPC service as backend if
they like, easily.
(My main goal was actually to support this for crypttab key files — i.e.
that you can specify AF_UNIX sockets as third column in crypttab — but
that's harder to implement, since the keys are read via libcryptsetup's
API, not ours.)
967de8face added a note that I found very hard
to understand. Reword it, and also describe how IMPORT and PROGRAM are different
from RUN.
Minor markup adjustements too.
This only sets the environment for user *services*, it has no effect on
sessions, as those get an env block set up by whatever program sets them
up and not systemd.
Now that we make the user/group name resolving available via userdb and
thus nss-systemd, we do not need the UID/GID resolving support in
nss-mymachines anymore. Let's drop it hence.
We keep the module around, since besides UID/GID resolving it also does
hostname resolving, which we care about. (One of those days we should
replace that by some Varlink logic between
nss-resolve/systemd-resolved.service too)
The hooks are kept in the NSS module, but they do not resolve anything
anymore, in order to keep compat at a maximum.
Add support for creating a MACVLAN interface in "source" mode by
specifying Mode=source in the [MACVLAN] section of a .netdev file.
A list of allowed MAC addresses for the corresponding MACVLAN can also
be specified with the SourceMACAddress= option of the [MACVLAN] section.
An example .netdev file:
[NetDev]
Name=macvlan0
Kind=macvlan
MACAddress=02:DE:AD:BE:EF:00
[MACVLAN]
Mode=source
SourceMACAddress=02:AB:AB:AB:AB:01 02:CD:CD:CD:CD:01
SourceMACAddress=02:EF:EF:EF:EF:01
The same keys can also be specified in [MACVTAP] for MACVTAP kinds of
interfaces, with the same semantics.
For users, the square brackets already serve as markup and clearly delineate
the section name from surrounding text. Putting additional markup around that
only adds clutter. Also, we were very inconsistent in using the quotes. Let's
just drop them altogether.
If an entry in fstab uses "x-systemd.automount" option and also asks for
additionnal dependencies via x-systemd.requires or such, then the dependencies
were applied to the automount unit.
But this unlikely to do the right thing and is inconsistent with what's done
for network mounts.
Indeed when an fstab entries has "_netdev,x-systemd.automount" options, the
dependencies against the network requested by "_netdev" are (correctly) applied
to the mount unit only and the automount unit remains ordered against
local-fs.target.
The same logic should be followed when extra deps are specified via the mount
options as automount units should always be ordered against local-fs.target.
Note: in general explicit deps specified via mount options should be used with
care and should be used to specify dependencies on other mount units only as it
can easily create ordering cycles otherwise like it's been seen in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/issues/69. Mount units (as well as
automount ones) are ordered before local-fs.target by default which is a
low-level target that most other units depend on.
