Put more emphasis on the routing part. This is the more interesting
thing, and also more complicated and novel.
Explain "search domains" as the special case. Also explain the effect of
~. in more detail.
SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH=foobar: systemd-analyze verify barbar/unit.service
will load units from barbar/, foobar/, /etc/systemd/system/, etc.
SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH= systemd-analyze verify barbar/unit.service
will load units only from barbar/, which is useful e.g. when testing
systemd's own units on a system with an older version of systemd installed.
It needs to be possible to tell apart "the nss-resolve module does not exist"
(which can happen when running foreign-architecture programs) from "the queried
DNS name failed DNSSEC validation" or other errors. So return NOTFOUND for these
cases too, and only keep UNAVAIL for the cases where we cannot handle the given
address family.
This makes it possible to configure a fallback to "dns" without breaking
DNSSEC, with "resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns". Add this to the manpage.
This does not change behaviour if resolved is not running, as that already
falls back to the "dns" glibc module.
Fixes#4157
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.

Back when external storage was initially added in 34c10968cb, this mode of
storage was added. This could have made some sense back when XZ compression was
used, and an uncompressed core on disk could be used as short-lived cache file
which does require costly decompression. But now fast LZ4 compression is used
(by default) both internally and externally, so we have duplicated storage,
using the same compression and same default maximum core size in both cases,
but with different expiration lifetimes. Even the uncompressed-external,
compressed-internal mode is not very useful: for small files, decompression
with LZ4 is fast enough not to matter, and for large files, decompression is
still relatively fast, but the disk-usage penalty is very big.
An additional problem with the two modes of storage is that it complicates
the code and makes it much harder to return a useful error message to the user
if we cannot find the core file, since if we cannot find the file we have to
check the internal storage first.
This patch drops "both" storage mode. Effectively this means that if somebody
configured coredump this way, they will get a warning about an unsupported
value for Storage, and the default of "external" will be used.
I'm pretty sure that this mode is very rarely used anyway.
There was no certainty about how the path in service file should look
like for usb functionfs activation. Because of this it was treated
differently in different places, which made this feature unusable.
This patch fixes the path to be the *mount directory* of functionfs, not
ep0 file path and clarifies in the documentation that ListenUSBFunction should be
the location of functionfs mount point, not ep0 file itself.
Make ALSA entries, latency interface, mtrr, apm/acpi, suspend interface,
filesystems configuration and IRQ tuning readonly.
Most of these interfaces now days should be in /sys but they are still
available through /proc, so just protect them. This patch does not touch
/proc/net/...
Let's merge a couple of columns, to make the table a bit shorter. This
effectively just drops whitespace, not contents, but makes the currently
humungous table much much more compact.
This reworks the documentation for ReadOnlyPaths=, ReadWritePaths=,
InaccessiblePaths=. It no longer claims that we'd follow symlinks relative to
the host file system. (Which wasn't true actually, as we didn't follow symlinks
at all in the most recent releases, and we know do follow them, but relative to
RootDirectory=).
This also replaces all references to the fact that all fs namespacing options
can be undone with enough privileges and disable propagation by a single one in
the documentation of ReadOnlyPaths= and friends, and then directs the read to
this in all other places.
Moreover a hint is added to the documentation of SystemCallFilter=, suggesting
usage of ~@mount in case any of the fs namespacing related options are used.
Let's drop the reference to the cap_from_name() function in the documentation
for the capabilities setting, as it is hardly helpful. Our readers are not
necessarily C hackers knowing the semantics of cap_from_name(). Moreover, the
strings we accept are just the plain capability names as listed in
capabilities(7) hence there's really no point in confusing the user with
anything else.
Let's make sure that services that use DynamicUser=1 cannot leave files in the
file system should the system accidentally have a world-writable directory
somewhere.
This effectively ensures that directories need to be whitelisted rather than
blacklisted for access when DynamicUser=1 is set.
Let's tighten our sandbox a bit more: with this change ProtectSystem= gains a
new setting "strict". If set, the entire directory tree of the system is
mounted read-only, but the API file systems /proc, /dev, /sys are excluded
(they may be managed with PrivateDevices= and ProtectKernelTunables=). Also,
/home and /root are excluded as those are left for ProtectHome= to manage.
In this mode, all "real" file systems (i.e. non-API file systems) are mounted
read-only, and specific directories may only be excluded via
ReadWriteDirectories=, thus implementing an effective whitelist instead of
blacklist of writable directories.
While we are at, also add /efi to the list of paths always affected by
ProtectSystem=. This is a follow-up for
b52a109ad3 which added /efi as alternative for
/boot. Our namespacing logic should respect that too.
Also update the description of drop-ins in systemd.unit(5) to say that .d
directories, not .conf files, are in /etc/system/system, /run/systemd/system,
etc.
This splits the OS field in two : one for the distribution name
and one for the the version id.
Dashes are written for missing fields.
This also prints ip addresses of known machines. The `--max-addresses`
option specifies how much ip addresses we want to see. The default is 1.
When more than one address is written for a machine, a `,` follows it.
If there are more ips than `--max-addresses`, `...` follows the last
address.
