2016-07-25core: change ExecStart=! syntax to ExecStart=+ (#3797)Lennart Poettering
As suggested by @mbiebl we already use the "!" special char in unit file assignments for negation, hence we should not use it in a different context for privileged execution. Let's use "+" instead.
2016-07-25NEWS: reword the text about libsharedZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
"strict versioned dependency" suggests that version "231" of the library is stable. But the ABI or API might be changed in any patch, so reword the text to avoid using "version".

2016-06-24resolved: add option to disable caching (#3592)Martin Pitt
In some cases, caching DNS results locally is not desirable, a it makes DNS cache poisoning attacks a tad easier and also allows users on the system to determine whether or not a particular domain got visited by another user. Thus provide a new "Cache" resolved.conf option to disable it.

2016-05-17networkd: Add EmitRouter= option for DHCP Server (#3251)Clemens Gruber
Add an option to disable appending DHCP option 3 (Router) to the DHCP OFFER and ACK packets. This commit adds the boolean option EmitRouter= for the [DHCPServer] section in .network files. Rationale: On embedded devices, it is very useful to have a DHCP server running on an USB OTG ethernet gadget interface to avoid manual setup on the client PCs, but it should only serve IP addresses, no route(r)s. Otherwise, Windows clients experience network connectivity issues, due to them using the address set in DHCP option 3 as default gateway. Signed-off-by: Clemens Gruber <clemens.gruber@pqgruber.com>

2016-04-21logind: allow any user to request lingeringZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
We enable lingering for anyone who wants this. It is still disabled by default to avoid keeping long-running processes accidentally. Admins might want to customize this policy on multi-user sites.

2016-04-21logind: flip KillUserProcesses to on by defaultZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
This ensures that users sessions are properly cleaned up after. The admin can still enable or disable linger for specific users to allow them to run processes after they log out. Doing that through the user session is much cleaner and provides better control. dbus daemon can now be run in the user session (with --enable-user-session, added in 1.10.2), and most distributions opted to pick this configuration. In the normal case it makes a lot of sense to kill remaining processes. The exception is stuff like screen and tmux. But it's easy enough to work around, a simple example was added to the man page in previous commit. In the long run those services should integrate with the systemd users session on their own. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94508 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2900

2016-02-16resolved: turn on DNSSEC by default, unless configured otherwiseLennart Poettering
Let's make sure DNSSEC gets more testing, by defaulting DNSSEC to "allow-downgrade" mode. Since distros should probably not ship DNSSEC enabled by default add a configure switch to disable this again. DNSSEC in "allow-downgrade" mode should mostly work without affecting user experience. There's one exception: some captive portal systems rewrite DNS in order to redirect HTTP traffic to the captive portal. If these systems implement DNS servers that are otherwise DNSSEC-capable (which in fact is pretty unlikely, but still...), then this will result in the captive portal being inaccessible. To fix this support in NetworkManager (or any other network management solution that does captive portal detection) is required, which simply turns off DNSSEC during the captive portal detection, and resets it back to the default (i.e. on) after captive portal authentication is complete.

cgroup: remove support for NetClass= directive
2016-02-10cgroup: remove support for NetClass= directiveDaniel Mack
Support for net_cls.class_id through the NetClass= configuration directive has been added in v227 in preparation for a per-unit packet filter mechanism. However, it turns out the kernel people have decided to deprecate the net_cls and net_prio controllers in v2. Tejun provides a comprehensive justification for this in his commit, which has landed during the merge window for kernel v4.5: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bd1060a1d671 As we're aiming for full support for the v2 cgroup hierarchy, we can no longer support this feature. Userspace tool such as nftables are moving over to setting rules that are specific to the full cgroup path of a task, which obsoletes these controllers anyway. This commit removes support for tweaking details in the net_cls controller, but keeps the NetClass= directive around for legacy compatibility reasons.
