These arguments contain UserRecord structures serialized to JSON,
however only the "secret" part of it, not a whole user record. We do
this since the secret part is conceptually part of the user record and
in some contexts we need a user record in full with both secret and
non-secret part, and in others just the secret and in other just the
non-secret part, but we want to keep this in memory in the same logic.
Hence, let's rename the arguments where we expect a user record
consisting only of the secret part to "secret".
Previously pam_systemd_home.so was relying on `PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF` to
display error messages to the user and also display the next prompt.
`PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF` was never meant as a way to convey information to
the user, and following the example set in pam_unix.so you can see that
it's meant to _only_ display the prompt. Details about why the
authentication failed should be done in a `PAM_ERROR_MSG` before
displaying a short prompt as per usual using `PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF`.
Let's make the logic a bit smarter: if we detect that /home is
encrypted, let's avoid double encryption and prefer plain
directory/subvolumes instead of our regular luks images.
Also, allow configuration go storage/file system via an env var passed
to homework. In a later commit, let's then change homed to initialize
that env var from a config file setting, when invoking homework.
Make use of the new user_record_build_image_path() helper the previous
commit added to share some code.
Also, let's make sure we update all parsed-out fields with the new data
from the binding, so that the parsed-out fields are definitely
up-to-date.
Let's make debugging a bit easier: when invoking homed from the build
tree it's now possible to make sure homed invokes the build tree's
homework binary by setting an env var.
We always need to make them unions with a "struct cmsghdr" in them, so
that things properly aligned. Otherwise we might end up at an unaligned
address and the counting goes all wrong, possibly making the kernel
refuse our buffers.
Also, let's make sure we initialize the control buffers to zero when
sending, but leave them uninitialized when reading.
Both the alignment and the initialization thing is mentioned in the
cmsg(3) man page.
Apparently unpriv clients expect to be able to auth via PAM. Kinda
sucks. But it is what it is. Hence open this up.
This shouldn't be too bad in effect since clients after all need to
provide security creds for unlocking the home dir, in order to misuse
this.

Let's be extra careful whenever we return from recvmsg() and see
MSG_CTRUNC set. This generally means we ran into a programming error, as
we didn't size the control buffer large enough. It's an error condition
we should at least log about, or propagate up. Hence do that.
This is particularly important when receiving fds, since for those the
control data can be of any size. In particular on stream sockets that's
nasty, because if we miss an fd because of control data truncation we
cannot recover, we might not even realize that we are one off.
(Also, when failing early, if there's any chance the socket might be
AF_UNIX let's close all received fds, all the time. We got this right
most of the time, but there were a few cases missing. God, UNIX is hard
to use)
When managing a home directory as LUKS image we currently place a
directory at the top that contains the actual home directory (so that
the home directory of the user won't be cluttered by lost-found and
suchlike). On btrfs let's make that a subvol though. This is a good idea
so that possibly later on we can make use of this for automatic history
management.
Fixes: #15121
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.
