This adds some basic client-side user/group filtering to "userdbctl":
1. by uid/gid min/max
2. by user "disposition" (i.e. show only regular users with "userdbctl
user -R")
3. by fuzzy name (i.e. search by substring/levenshtein of user name,
real name, and other identifiers of the user/group record).
In the long run we also want to support this server side, but let's
start out with doing this client-side, since many backends won't support
server-side filtering anytime soon anyway, so we need it in either case.
This is preparation for making our Varlink API a public API. Since our
Varlink API is built on top of our JSON API we need to make that public
first (it's a nice API, but JSON APIs there are already enough, this is
purely about the Varlink angle).
I made most of the json.h APIs public, and just placed them in
sd-json.h. Sometimes I wasn't so sure however, since the underlying data
structures would have to be made public too. If in doubt I didn#t risk
it, and moved the relevant API to src/libsystemd/sd-json/json-util.h
instead (without any sd_* symbol prefixes).
This is mostly a giant search/replace patch.
These will be used by display managers to pre-select the user's
preferred desktop environment and display server type. On homed, the
display manager will also be able to set these fields to cache the
user's last selection.
This adds fields to the user record logic to allow a "fallback" home
directory and shell to be set as part of the "status" section of the
user record, i.e. supplied by the manager of the user record.
The idea is that if the fallback homedir/shell is set it will take
precedence over the real one in most ways.
Usecase: let's try to make ssh logins into homed directories work.
systemd-homed would set a fallback shell/homedir for inactive home dirs.
Thus, when ssh logins take place via key auth, we can allow them, and
these fallback session params would be used because the real home cannot
be activated just yet becasue we cannot acquire any password for it from
the user.
This field is like preferredLanguage, but takes a priority list of
languages instead. If an app isn't translated into a user's primary
language, it can fall back to one of the other languages in the list
thus making the app more accessible to the user.
For instance: in my experience, many Ukrainians are fluent in Russian,
often significantly better than English (especially if they are of a
generation that grew up during the USSR). Such a person might set this
new variable to ["uk_UA.UTF-8", "ru_UA.UTF-8"] so that software that
lacks Ukrainian translations will first try Russian translations before
defaulting to English.

Let's not refuse low or high disk sizes unnecessarily early. They disk
sizes are subject fs limits anyway, hence there's no point in adding
another limit.
Relaxing thhe rules here as the advantage that we can later allow
"homectl resize lennart 0" as a generic way to minimize disk space.
user-record.[ch] are about the UserRecord JSON stuff, and the UID
allocation range stuff (i.e. login.defs handling) is a very different
thing, and complex enough on its own, let's give it its own c/h files.
No code changes, just some splitting out of code.
This is useful since certain shares can only be mounted with additional
mount flags. For example the SMB share in modern AVM Fritz!Boxes
requires "noserverino" to be set to work from Linux.
This catches up homed's FIDO2 support with cryptsetup's: we'll now store
the uv/up/clientPin configuration at enrollment in the user record JSON
data, and use it when authenticating with it.
This also adds explicit "uv" support: we'll only allow it to happen when
the client explicity said it's OK. This is then used by clients to print
a nice message suggesting "uv" has to take place before retrying
allowing it this time. This is modelled after the existing handling for
"up".
As suggested in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11484#issuecomment-775288617.
This does not touch anything exposed in src/systemd. Changing the defines there
would be a compatibility break.
Note that tests are broken after this commit. They will be fixed in the next one.
Also, even if login.defs are not present, don't start allocating at 1, but at
SYSTEM_UID_MIN.
Fixes#9769.
The test is adjusted. Actually, it was busted before, because sysusers would
never use SYSTEM_GID_MIN, so if SYSTEM_GID_MIN was different than
SYSTEM_UID_MIN, the tests would fail. On all "normal" systems the two are
equal, so we didn't notice. Since sysusers now always uses the minimum of the
two, we only need to substitute one value.
We don't (and shouldn't I think) look at them when determining the type of the
user, but they should be used during user/group allocation. (For example, an
admin may specify SYS_UID_MIN==200 to allow statically numbered users that are
shared with other systems in the range 1–199.)
It makes little sense to make the boundary between systemd and user guids
configurable. Nevertheless, a completely fixed compile-time define is not
enough in two scenarios:
- the systemd_uid_max boundary has moved over time. The default used to be
500 for a long time. Systems which are upgraded over time might have users
in the wrong range, but changing existing systems is complicated and
expensive (offline disks, backups, remote systems, read-only media, etc.)
- systems are used in a heterogenous enviornment, where some vendors pick
one value and others another.
So let's make this boundary overridable using /etc/login.defs.
Fixes#3855, #10184.
User records have the realname/gecos fields, groups never had that, but
it would really be useful to have it, hence let's add it with similar
semantics.
We enforce the same syntax as for GECOS, since it's better to start with
strict rules and losen them later instead of the opposite.
We'd like to use it for FIDO2 tokens too, and the concept is entirely
generic, hence let's just reuse the field, but rename it. Read the old
name for compatibility, and treat the old name and the new name as
identical for most purposes.
We make this entirely independent of the regular discard field, i.e. the
one that controls discard behaviour when the home directory is online.
Not all combinations make a ridiculous amount of sense, but most do.
Specifically:
online-discard = yes, offline-discard = yes
→ Discard when activating explicitly, and during runtime using
the "discard" mount option, and discard explicitly when logging
out again.
online-discard = no, offline-discard = yes
→ The new default: when logging in allocate the full backing
store, and use no discard while active. When loging out discard
everything. This provides nice behaviour: we take minimal storage
when offline but provide allocation guarantees while online.
online-discard = no, offline-discard = no
→ Never, ever discard, always operate with fully allocated
backing store. The extra safe mode.
