|
is a system service that queries the user for system
|
|
passwords (such as hard disk encryption keys and SSL
|
|
certificate passphrases) on the console. It is
|
|
intended to be used during boot to ensure proper
|
|
handling of passwords necessary for
|
|
boot. <filename>systemd-ask-password-wall.service</filename>
|
|
is a system service that informs all logged in users
|
|
for system passwords via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>wall</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. It
|
|
is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users
|
|
are properly notified.</para>
