2015-10-07ask-password: add support for caching passwords in the kernel keyringLennart Poettering
This adds support for caching harddisk passwords in the kernel keyring if it is available, thus supporting caching without Plymouth being around. This is also useful for hooking up "gdm-auto-login" with the collected boot-time harddisk password, in order to support gnome keyring passphrase unlocking via the HDD password, if it is the same. Any passwords added to the kernel keyring this way have a timeout of 2.5min at which time they are purged from the kernel.
2015-10-06ask-password: various modernizationsLennart Poettering
Primarily clean-up error logging: log either all or no error messages in the various functions. Mostly this means the actual password querying calls no longer will log on their own, but the callers have to do so. Contains various other fixes too, for example ports some code over to use the clean-up macro. Should contain no functional changes.
2015-09-29util: introduce common version() implementation and use it everywhereLennart Poettering
This also allows us to drop build.h from a ton of files, hence do so. Since we touched the #includes of those files, let's order them properly according to CODING_STYLE.
2015-02-23remove unused includesThomas Hindoe Paaboel Andersen
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is in use.
2014-10-05ask-password: Add --echo to enable echoing the user inputDavid Sommerseth
Programs such as OpenVPN may use ask-password for not only retrieving passwords, but also usernames. Masking usernames with * seems just silly. v2 - Don't mess with termios flags, instead print the input instead of an asterix. Resolves issues with backspace and TAB input. v3 - Renamed 'do_echo' variables and argument to 'echo'. Also modified the ask_password_{tty,agent,auto} API instead of additional wrapper functions. [zj: undo changes to ask_password_auto, since no callers were using the new argument.]
2014-04-24Add more password agent informationDavid Härdeman
Add an (optional) "Id" key in the password agent .ask files. The Id is supposed to be a simple string in "<subsystem>:<target>" form which is used to provide more information on what the requested passphrase is to be used for (which e.g. allows an agent to only react to cryptsetup requests). (v2: rebased, fixed indentation, escape name, use strappenda)
2012-07-19use #pragma once instead of foo*foo #define guardsShawn Landden
#pragma once has been "un-deprecated" in gcc since 3.3, and is widely supported in other compilers. I've been using and maintaining (rebasing) this patch for a while now, as it annoyed me to see #ifndef fooblahfoo, etc all over the place, almost arrogant about the annoyance of having to define all these names to perform a commen but neccicary functionality, when a completely superior alternative exists. I havn't sent it till now, cause its kindof a style change, and it is bad voodoo to mess with style that has been established by more established editors. So feel free to lambast me as a crazy bafoon. v2 - preserve externally used headers
