I had some problems with LDAP user lookups not working properly
at boot. I found that invalidating passwd and group on the
ip-up event (when nscd-invalidate starts) helped a bit.
modprobe.
* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

first user job I put in ~/.init caused Upstart to crash with an
assertion failure, taking down the system. Given that Upstart has a
non-trivial attack surface with this feature, it seems best to
disable it.

event is emitted by dhclient and by the network-interfaces job in
case of statically configured interfaces. Invalidating the cache is
necessary to get rid of negative queries.

After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

of DBus configuration directories. Thus packages with DBus
configuration files installed in the default profile will be found
automatically. (It would be nice to include $HOME/.nix-profile in
the session bus search path, but I don't think that's possible.)

${configDir}/system.conf. This is necessary to enable dbus to
reload its configuration on SIGHUP after a nixos-rebuild. (The
daemon cannot be restarted because then console-kit-daemon loses its
state.)
* Generate a proper /etc/dbus-1/session.conf.

* dbus: don't signal Upstart, since that seems to make it forget about
pending events or something. In any case starting dbus after acpid
was running wouldn't trigger hal to be started (but the other way
around did work).

is "ready". This prevents ugly race conditions, e.g. HAL failing to
start because dbus hasn't finished starting yet.
* Support post-start scripts. These are executed after the job's main
process has started but before the job's "started" event is
emitted. For instance, the udev job uses this to perform "udevadm
trigger / settle" to create all devices. Previously this had to be
done in the pre-start script, so the daemon had to started in the
pre-start script as well.

recognise X logins as active sessions (i.e. ck-list-sessions will
show "active = FALSE", and the user doesn't get ownership of
devices). I guess console-kit-daemon (which is started by dbus)
needs some device in /dev to exist.
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=17428
* Let ConsoleKit track the current logins instead of pam_console.
Udev now takes care of setting the device permissions to the active
user. This works much better, since pam_console wouldn't apply
permissions to new (hot-plugged) devices. Also, the udev+ConsoleKit
approach supports user switching. (We don't have that for X yet,
but it already works for logins on virtual consoles: if you switch
between different users on differents VCs with Alt+Fn, the device
ownership will be changed automatically.)

the bus daemon can start on demand). ConsoleKit and PolicyKit need
this. This requires a setuid wrapper for dbus-daemon-launch-helper,
as well as a "messagebus" group.

jobs, e.g. (from the nscd job)
{ name = "nscd";
description = "Name Service Cache Daemon";
startOn = "startup";
stopOn = "shutdown";
environment = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = nssModulesPath; };
preStart =
''
mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/run/nscd
mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/db/nscd
'';
exec = "${pkgs.glibc}/sbin/nscd -f ${./nscd.conf} -d 2> /dev/null";
};
The Upstart job is generated from this. The main goal is to provide
some abstraction from the Upstart syntax. For instance, this should
make it easier to upgrade to newer versions of Upstart, to switch to
an entirely different process management system (e.g. initng or
launchd), or to test a job independantly from Upstart. (However the
startOn and stopOn attributes are tied to Upstart's event model.)

those that run daemons) to modules/services. This probably broke
some things since there are a few relative paths in modules
(e.g. imports of system/ids.nix).
* Moved some PAM modules out of etc/pam.d to the directories of NixOS
modules that use them.
