This unifies the suggested nsswitch.conf configuration for our four NSS modules to this:
hosts: files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
Note that this restores "myhostname" to the suggested configuration of
nss-resolve for the time being, undoing 4484e1792b.
"myhostname" should probably be dropped eventually, but when we do this we
should do it in full, and not only drop it from the suggested nsswitch.conf
for one of the modules, but also drop it in source and stop referring to it
altogether.
Note that nss-resolve doesn't replace nss-myhostname in full: the former only
works if D-Bus/resolved is available for resolving the local hostname, the
latter works in all cases even if D-Bus or resolved are not in operation, hence
there's some value in keeping the line as it is right now. Note that neither
dns nor myhostname are considered at all with the above configuration unless
the resolve module actually returns UNAVAIL. Thus, even though handling of
local hostname resolving is implemented twice this way it is only executed once
for each lookup.
So far we recommended placing "nss-mymachines" after "nss-resolve" in the order
of preference in /etc/nsswitch.conf. This change reverse this order.
Rationale: single-label names are resolved via LLMNR by resolved, which has to
time out if no peer by that name exists. By placing "nss-mymachines" first
(which always responds immediately) we avoid running into this timeout for most
containers. Both modules should return the same data if LLMNR is used by the
container anyway.
While we are at it, improve the man pages of the three NSS modules in other
ways a bit.
Given a container "foo", that maps user id $UID to container user, using
user namespaces, this NSS module extenstion will now map the $UID to a
name "vu-foo-$TUID" for the translated UID $UID.
Similar, userns groups are mapped to "vg-foo-$TGID" for translated GIDs
of $GID.
This simple change should make userns users more discoverable. Also,
given that many tools like "adduser" check NSS before allocating a UID,
should lower the chance of UID range conflicts between tools.
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.
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.
