* ask-password: add option --no-output to not print password to stdoutChristian Hesse2016-03-011-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | systemd-ask-password can store passwords in kernel keyring. However it uses to print the passwords to standard output nevertheless. Depending on where systemd-ask-password is called passwords may end on display or in log, leaking sensitive information. This allows to make systemd-ask-password quiet, effectively disabling printing passwords to standard output.

* ask-password: add support for caching passwords in the kernel keyringLennart Poettering2015-10-071-13/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for caching harddisk passwords in the kernel keyring if it is available, thus supporting caching without Plymouth being around. This is also useful for hooking up "gdm-auto-login" with the collected boot-time harddisk password, in order to support gnome keyring passphrase unlocking via the HDD password, if it is the same. Any passwords added to the kernel keyring this way have a timeout of 2.5min at which time they are purged from the kernel.
* man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setupsTom Gundersen2015-06-181-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* man: generate configured paths in manpagesFilipe Brandenburger2015-05-281-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ask-password: Add --echo to enable echoing the user inputDavid Sommerseth2014-10-051-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Programs such as OpenVPN may use ask-password for not only retrieving passwords, but also usernames. Masking usernames with * seems just silly. v2 - Don't mess with termios flags, instead print the input instead of an asterix. Resolves issues with backspace and TAB input. v3 - Renamed 'do_echo' variables and argument to 'echo'. Also modified the ask_password_{tty,agent,auto} API instead of additional wrapper functions. [zj: undo changes to ask_password_auto, since no callers were using the new argument.]
* man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2014-07-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?

* man: replace STDOUT with standard output, etc.Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2014-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Actually 'STDOUT' is something that doesn't appear anywhere: in the stdlib we have 'stdin', and there's only the constant STDOUT_FILENO, so there's no reason to use capitals. When refering to code, STDOUT/STDOUT/STDERR are replaced with stdin/stdout/stderr, and in other places they are replaced with normal phrases like standard output, etc.
* man: improvements to comma placementJan Engelhardt2013-12-251-1/+1
| | | | | This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to: comma placement.
* man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt2013-09-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)
* man: clearify the meaning of timeout=0 for password agentsTom Gundersen2013-01-231-1/+2
| | | | | | The fact that timeout=0 makes password agents wait indefinitely is documented in http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents. Document it also in the relevant man pages.
* man: typo fixesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen2012-10-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55890 Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown" to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit 8bd3b8620c80d0f2383f2fb04315411fc8077ca1

* relicense to LGPLv2.1 (with exceptions)Lennart Poettering2012-04-121-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
