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.
