* sd-id128: add new sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() APILennart Poettering2016-11-291-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | This adds an API for retrieving an app-specific machine ID to sd-id128. Internally it calculates HMAC-SHA256 with an 128bit app-specific ID as payload and the machine ID as key. (An alternative would have been to use siphash for this, which is also cryptographically strong. However, as it only generates 64bit hashes it's not an obvious choice for generating 128bit IDs.) Fixes: #4667

* core: Add machine-id settingNils Carlson2016-01-121-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Allow for overriding all other machine-ids which may be present on the system using a kernel command line systemd.machine_id or --machine-id= option. This is especially useful for network booted systems where the machine-id needs to be static, or for containers where a specific machine-id is wanted.
* man: use "=" when referring to configuration file settingsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2015-09-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | This convention is almost universal in systemd man pages, and makes it easier to visually parse the docs. Also fix some markup along the way.
* machine-id-commit: merge machine-id-commit functionality into machine-id-setupLennart Poettering2015-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | And remove machine-id-commit as separate binary. There's really no point in keeping this separate, as the sources are pretty much identical, and have pretty identical interfaces. Let's unify this in one binary. Given that machine-id-commit was a private binary of systemd (shipped in /usr/lib/) removing the tool is not an API break. While we are at it, improve the documentation of the command substantially.
* man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen2015-06-181-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.
* man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger2015-05-281-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup. Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach. This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220 The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of: - Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount. - Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc. These will be handled separately by follow up patches. Tested: - With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly. - Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist. - Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

| | | | | | | | | | Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas, capitalization, spelling, etc. To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were revised. [zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]

* relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering2012-04-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.

* main: introduce /etc/machine-idLennart Poettering2011-03-041-0/+104
This is supposed to play the same roles /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, however fixes a couple of problems: - It is available during early boot since it is stored in /etc - Removes the ID from the D-Bus context and moves it into a system context, thus hopefully lowering hesitation by people to use it. - It is generated at installation time. If the file is empty at boot time it will be mounted over with a randomly generated ID, which is not saved to disk. This is useful to support state-less machines with no transient or writable /etc configuration.
