This fixes several problems in the dhcpcd service:
* A segfault during startup, due to a race with udev (dhcpcd would get
an ADD event from udev, causing it to re-add an interface that it
already had, leading to a segfault later on).
* A hang/segfault processing "dhcpcd rebind" (which NixOS calls after
waking up from suspend).
Also, add "lo" to the list of ignored interfaces. It usually ignores
"lo", but apparently not when it gets an ADD event from udev.
Upstream has not been tagging new versions for a long time, but we need
compatibility with newer kernels. The 0.6.2 versions already have a bunch of
backported compatibility patches, but 3.14 kernels need even more.
Also, the git versions have fixed a bunch of crashes and other bugs, so perhaps
we should just bite the bullet and just use recent git versions (as sometimes
upstream recommends, when people run into bugs).
This adds a new "boot.zfs.useGit" boolean option, so that a user can
easily opt into using the git versions.
By enabling ‘services.openssh.startWhenNeeded’, sshd is started
on-demand by systemd using socket activation. This is particularly
useful if you have a zillion containers and don't want to have sshd
running permanently. Note that socket activation is not noticeable
slower, contrary to what the manpage for ‘sshd -i’ says, so we might
want to make this the default one day.
This causes OpenVPN services to reach the "active" state when the VPN
connection is up (i.e., after OpenVPN prints "Initialization Sequence
Completed"). This allows units to be ordered correctly after openvpn-*
units, and makes systemctl present a password prompt:
$ start openvpn-foo
Enter Private Key Password: *************
(I first tried to implement this by calling "systemd-notify --ready"
from the "up" script, but systemd-notify is not reliable.)
This seems to have combined badly with the systemd upgrade, we'll revert
for now and revisit after the 14.04 branch.
This reverts commit ad80532881, reversing
changes made to 1c5d3c7883.
The ability for unprivileged users to mount external media is useful
regardless of the desktop environment. Also, since udisks2 is
activated on-demand, it doesn't add any overhead if you're not using it.
