interfaces black-listed for dhcpcd via configuration.nix. I use this option to
disable DHCP for "veth*" interfaces, which are created by LXC for use inside of
virtual machines.

smart shutdown mode, Postgres waits until all
active connections have closed, which can take an
unbounded amount of time.

like "ssh-copy-id" add keys to the end of the file. Instead mark
all automatically added lines individually.

* In the installation CD, set GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE to a low value for
the benefit of memory-constrained environments.

challenge-response is an authentication method that does not need the
plain text password to be emitted over the (encrypted) connection.
This is nice if you don't fully trust the server.
It is enabled (upstream) by default.
To the end user, it still looks like normal password authentication,
but instead of sending it, it is used to hash some challenge.
This means that if you don't want passwords to be used ever at all,
and just stick to public key authentication, you probably want to
disable this option too.

You can now set the forwardX11 config option for the ssh client and server separately.
For server, the option means "allow clients to request X11 forwarding".
For client, the option means "request X11 forwarding by default on all connections".
I don't think it made sense to couple them. I might not even run the server on some machines.
Also, I ssh to a lot of machines, and rarely want X11 forwarding. The times I want it,
I use the -X/-Y option, or set it in my ~/.ssh/config.
I also decoupled the 'XAuthLocation' logic from forwardX11.
For my case where ssh client doesn't want forwarding by default, it still wants to set the path for the cases I do need it.
As this flag is the one that pulls in X11 dependencies, I changed the minimal profile and the no-x-libs config to check that instead now.

delete routes and addresses when it quits. This causes those routes
and addresses to stick around forever, since dhcpcd won't delete
them when it runs next (even if it acquires a new lease on the same
interface). This is bad; in particular the stale (default) routes
can break networking.
The downside to removing "persistent" is that you should never ever
do "stop dhcpcd" on a remote machine configured by dhcpcd.

The VirtualBox build in Nixpkgs is insecure because it uses the
"--disable-hardened" flag, which disables some checks in the
VirtualBox kernel module. Since getting rid of that flag looks like
too much work, it's better to ensure that only explicitly permitted
users have access to VirtualBox.
* Drop the 666 permission on "sonypi" because it's not clear why that
device should be world-writable.
