* man/systemd-sysusers, man/systemd-tmpfiles: fix sentence fragmentsJames Muir2024-08-131-9/+9
| | | | add "are executed" so that those two sentences have a verb.
* tmpfiles,sysusers: rework path argument handlingZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2024-02-091-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if given an absolute path, we would open the file, but when given a relative path, we'd attempt to search the directories. If the user wants to open a file from the search path, allowing paths is very confusing. E.g. with a path like 'sysusers/foo.conf', we'd try to open '/etc/sysusers.d/sysusers/foo.conf', '/run/sysusers.d/sysusers/foo.conf', …, and with '../foo.conf', we'd try to open '/etc/sysusers.d/../foo.conf', '/run/sysusers.d/../foo.conf', …. This just isn't useful, and in fact for a scheme like sysusers.d and tmpfiles.d where there we have a flat directory with config files, only searching for plain names can result in success. When a user specifies a relative path, it's more likely that they wanted to open some local file. OTOH, to correctly open a local file, e.g. one that they're just writing, this interface is also awkward, because something like '$PWD/file.conf' has to be used to open a file with a relative path. This patch changes the interface so that any path (i.e. an argument with "/") is used to open a file directly, and only plain basenames are used for searching. (Note that tpmfiles and sysusers are somewhat special here: their "config files" make sense without the other config and users are likely to want to test them without the other config. I was trying to do just that when writing a spec file for a package and attempting to convert the existing scripts to sysusers and tmpfiles. The same logic wouldn't apply for example to units or udev rules, because they generally can only be interpreted with the whole rest of config also available.)
* man: fix references to systemd.exec(5)Lennart Poettering2024-01-111-2/+2
| | | | | | For some reason the section for the systemd.exec man page was added incorrectly and then copypasted everywhere else incorrectly too. Let's fix that.

| | | | | | | | This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes back to version 183. The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it, which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.

* sysusers: read passwords from the credentials logicLennart Poettering2021-03-261-1/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let's make use of our own credentials infrastructure in our tools: let's hook up systemd-sysusers with the credentials logic, so that the root password can be provisioned this way. This is really useful when working with stateless systems, in particular nspawn's "--volatile=yes" switch, as this works now: # systemd-nspawn -i foo.raw --volatile=yes --set-credential=passwd.plaintext-password:foo For the first time we have a nice, non-interactive way to provision the root password for a fully stateless system from the container manager. Yay!

| | | | | | | The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere. $ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml

* man: drop unused <authorgroup> tags from man sourcesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-06-141-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight. Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable. $ perl -i -0pe 's/\s*<authorgroup>.*<.authorgroup>//gms' man/*xml
* tree-wide: remove Lennart's copyright linesLennart Poettering2018-06-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship information.
* tree-wide: drop 'This file is part of systemd' blurbLennart Poettering2018-06-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together. Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to change bits that are part of our copyright header for that. hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a bit.
* binfmt,sysctl,sysuers,tmpfiles: add auto-paging for --cat-config commandsLennart Poettering2018-06-131-0/+1
| | | | | The output of these commands is really long, and already enriched with color. Let's add auto-paging to make this easier to digest.

* tree-wide: drop license boilerplateZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-04-061-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | 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.
* sysusers: allow admin/runtime overrides to command-line configZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-02-021-9/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When used in a package installation script, we want to invoke systemd-sysusers before that package is installed (so it can contain files owned by the newly created user), so the configuration to use is specified on the command line. This should be a copy of the configuration that will be installed as /usr/lib/sysusers.d/package.conf. We still want to obey any overrides in /etc/sysusers.d or /run/sysusers.d in the usual fashion. Otherwise, we'd get a different result when systemd-sysusers is run with a copy of the new config on the command line and when systemd-sysusers is run at boot after package instalation. In the second case any files in /etc or /run have higher priority, so the same should happen when the configuration is given on the command line. More generally, we want the behaviour in this special case to be as close to the case where the file is finally on disk as possible, so we have to read all configuration files, since they all might contain overrides and additional configuration that matters. Even files that have lower priority might specify additional groups for the user we are creating. Thus, we need to read all configuration, but insert our new configuration somewhere with the right priority. If --target=/path/to/file.conf is given on the command line, we gather the list of files, and pretend that the command-line config is read from /path/to/file.conf (doesn't matter if the file on disk actually exists or not). All package scripts should use this option to obtain consistent and idempotent behaviour. The corner case when --target= is specified and there are no positional arguments is disallowed. v1: - version with --config-name= v2: - disallow --config-name= and no positional args v3: - remove --config-name= v4: - add --target= and rework the code completely v5: - fix argcounting bug and add example in man page v6: - rename --target to --replace
* sysusers: take configuration as positional argumentsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2018-02-021-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the configuration is included in a script, this is more convient. I thought it would be possible to use this for rpm scriptlets with '%pre -p systemd-sysuser "..."', but apparently there is no way to pass arguments to the executable ($1 is used for the package installation count). But this functionality seems generally useful, e.g. for testing and one-off scripts, so let's keep it. There's a slight change in behaviour when files are given on the command line: if we cannot parse them, error out instead of ignoring the failure. When trying to parse all configuration files, we don't want to fail even if some config files are broken, but when parsing a list of items specified explicitly, we should. v2: - rename --direct to --inline

* man: unify titling, fix description of precedence in sysusers.d(5)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2017-09-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Fixes #6639. (This behaviour of systemd-sysusers is long established, so it's better to adjust the documentation rather than change the code. If there are any situations out there where it matters, users must have adjusted to the current behaviour.)

* 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.
