Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>nss-systemd</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the
|
|
GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and
|
|
groups allocated through the <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> option in systemd unit files. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details on
|
|
this option.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs
|
|
0 and 65534) remain resolvable at all times, even if they aren't listed in <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or
|
|
<filename>/etc/group</filename>, or if these files are missing.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>systemd</literal> to the lines starting with
|
|
<literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>systemd</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or
|
|
<literal>compat</literal> entry of the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> lines so that
|
|
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename> based mappings take precedence.</para>
