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.)

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-sysusers</command> creates system users and groups, based on files in the format
|
|
described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysusers.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If invoked with no arguments, directives from the configuration files found in the directories
|
|
specified by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysusers.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. When
|
|
invoked with positional arguments, if option <option>--replace=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option>
|
|
is specified, arguments specified on the command line are used instead of the configuration file
|
|
<replaceable>PATH</replaceable>. Otherwise, just the configuration specified by the command line
|
|
arguments is executed. If the string <literal>-</literal> is specified instead of a filename, the
|
|
configuration is read from standard input. If the argument is a file name (without any slashes), all
|
|
configuration directories are searched for a matching file and the file found that has the highest
|
|
priority is executed. If the argument is a path, that file is used directly without searching the
|
|
configuration directories for any other matching file.</para>

<para>This option is intended to be used when package installation scripts

<filename>/etc/sysusers.d/00-overrides.conf</filename>.</para>

<title>Credentials</title>

<para><command>systemd-sysusers</command> supports the service credentials logic as implemented by

<varname>ImportCredential=</varname>/<varname>LoadCredential=</varname>/<varname>SetCredential=</varname>
|
|
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
|
|
details). The following credentials are used when passed in:</para>
|
|

<variablelist class='system-credentials'>

<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><varname>passwd.hashed-password.<replaceable>user</replaceable></varname></term>
|
|
<listitem><para>A UNIX hashed password string to use for the specified user, when creating an entry
|
|
for it. This is particularly useful for the <literal>root</literal> user as it allows provisioning
|
|
the default root password to use via a unit file drop-in or from a container manager passing in this
|
|
credential. Note that setting this credential has no effect if the specified user account already
|
|
exists. This credential is hence primarily useful in first boot scenarios or systems that are fully
|
|
stateless and come up with an empty <filename>/etc/</filename> on every boot.</para>

but expect a literal, plaintext password, which is then automatically hashed before used for the user

account. If both the hashed and the plaintext credential are specified for the same user the

former takes precedence. It's generally recommended to specify the hashed version; however in test

environments with weaker requirements on security it might be easier to pass passwords in plaintext

instead.</para>

with an unpopulated <filename>/etc/</filename> for the first time it is possible to configure the root

user's password to be <literal>systemd</literal> like this:</para>

<para>Note again that the data specified in this credential is consulted only when creating an account

for the first time, it may not be used for changing the password or shell of an account that already

exists.</para>
