+ handling of passwords necessary for
+ boot. <filename>systemd-ask-password-wall.service</filename>
+ is a system service that informs all logged in users
+ for system passwords via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>wall</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>. It
+ is intended to be used after boot to ensure that users
+ are properly notified.</para>
