When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to
install nss-myhostname to ensure that in a world of
dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolvable
under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn
- if nss-myhostname is not installed. Packagers are encouraged to
- add a dependency on nss-myhostname to the package that
- includes systemd-hostnamed.
+ if nss-myhostname is not installed.
Note that D-Bus can link against libsystemd-login.so, which
results in a cyclic build dependency. To accommodate for this
please build D-Bus without systemd first, then build systemd,
then rebuild D-Bus with systemd support.
+ To build HTML documentation for python-systemd using sphinx,
+ please first install systemd (using 'make install'), and then
+ invoke sphinx-build with 'make sphinx-<target>', with <target>
+ being 'html' or 'latexpdf'. If using DESTDIR for installation,
+ pass the same DESTDIR to 'make sphinx-html' invocation.
+
+USERS AND GROUPS:
+ Default udev rules use the following standard system group names,\
+ which need to be resolvable by getgrnam() at any time, even in the
+ very early boot stages, where no other databases and network is
+ available:
+ tty, dialout, kmem, video, audio, lp, floppy, cdrom, tape, disk
+
+ During runtime the journal daemon requires the
+ "system-journal" system group to exist. New journal files will
+ be readable by this group (but not writable) which may be used
+ to grant specific users read access.
+
+ It is also recommended to grant read access to all journal
+ files to the system groups "wheel" and "adm" with a command
+ like the following in the post installation script of the
+ package:
+
+ # setfacl -nm g:wheel:rx,d:g:wheel:rx,g:adm:rx,d:g:adm:rx /var/log/journal/
+
WARNINGS:
systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
(e.g. ./configure CPPFLAGS='... -DVALGRIND=1'). Otherwise,
false positives will be triggered by code which violates
some rules but is actually safe.
