Several units now utilize the PrivateNetwork parameter, which requires network namespace support.
2014-03-24core: remove tcpwrap supportLennart Poettering
tcpwrap is legacy code, that is barely maintained upstream. It's APIs are awful, and the feature set it exposes (such as DNS and IDENT access control) questionnable. We should not support this natively in systemd. Hence, let's remove the code. If people want to continue making use of this, they can do so by plugging in "tcpd" for the processes they start. With that scheme things are as well or badly supported as they were from traditional inetd, hence no functionality is really lost.

systemd does not need or use CONFIG_EFI_VARS anywhere, this should be CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS instead.

2014-02-12build-sys: make lxml required when generating indicesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Since the manpage indices generated without lxml would be missing some parts, it doesn't make sense to keep lxml optional anymore.
2014-01-25build-sys: default to gold linkerZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
gold doesn't exhibit the problems with linking of compatibility libraries. It is also slightly faster: make clean && make -j5 bfd gold real 34.885s 33.707s user 34.486s 32.189s sys 9.929s 10.845s real 35.128s 33.508s user 34.660s 31.858s sys 10.798s 10.341s real 35.405s 33.748s user 34.765s 32.384s sys 11.635s 10.998s real 35.250s 33.795s user 34.704s 32.253s sys 11.220s 11.469s touch src/libsystemd/sd-bus.c && make -j5 bfd gold real 10.224s 9.030s user 11.664s 9.877s sys 3.431s 2.878s real 10.021s 9.165s user 11.526s 9.990s sys 3.061s 3.015s real 10.233s 8.961s user 11.657s 9.973s sys 3.467s 2.202s real 10.160s 9.086s user 11.637s 9.950s sys 3.188s 2.859s

2013-12-23bus: switch kdbus bloom filter over to SipHash (from MurmurHash3)Lennart Poettering
Let's try to standardize on a single non-cryptographic hash algorithm, and for that SipHash appears to be the best answer. With this change there are two other hash functions left in systemd: an older version of MurmurHash embedded into libudev for the bloom filters in udev messages (which is hard to update, given that the we probably should stay compatible with older versions of the library). And lookup3 in the journal files (which we could replace for new files, but which is probably not worth the work).

2013-03-07core: mount and initialize SmackNathaniel Chen
SMACK is the Simple Mandatory Access Control Kernel, a minimal approach to Access Control implemented as a kernel LSM. The kernel exposes the smackfs filesystem API through which access rules can be loaded. At boot time, we want to load the access rules as early as possible to ensure all early boot steps are checked by Smack. This patch mounts smackfs at the new location at /sys/fs/smackfs for kernels 3.8 and above. The /smack mountpoint is not supported. After mounting smackfs, rules are loaded from the usual location. For more information about Smack see: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/Smack.txt

2013-03-05journald: introduce new "systemd-journal" group and make it own the journal ↵Lennart Poettering
files Previously all journal files were owned by "adm". In order to allow specific users to read the journal files without granting it access to the full "adm" powers, introduce a new specific group for this. "systemd-journal" has to be created by the packaging scripts manually at installation time. It's a good idea to assign a static UID/GID to this group, since /var/log/journal might be shared across machines via NFS. This commit also grants read access to the journal files by default to members of the "wheel" and "adm" groups via file system ACLs, since these "almost-root" groups should be able to see what's going on on the system. These ACLs are created by "make install". Packagers probably need to duplicate this logic in their postinst scripts. This also adds documentation how to grant access to the journal to additional users or groups via fs ACLs.
