Eelco Dolstra 29c5178bdf * Declarative specification of user accounts. Jobs can now specify a
list of user accounts that the job needs to run.  For instance, the
  SSH daemon job says:

    { name = "sshd";
      uid = (import ../system/ids.nix).uids.sshd;
      description = "SSH privilege separation user";
      home = "/var/empty";
    }

  The activation script creates the system users/groups and updates
  them as well.  So a change in the Nix expression can be realised in
  /etc/{group,passwd} by running nixos-rebuild.

Eelco Dolstra 554ae9908b * Some slightly hacky LDAP support. The problem is that Glibc has to
be able to find the LDAP NSS module, which is normally installed in
  Glibc's prefix (under /lib/libnss_ldap...).  Of course, we can't do
  that; it wouldn't be pure.  As a workaround, we simply add nss_ldap
  to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH of the nscd daemon, which every other program
  uses for lookups.  So we don't have to put nss_ldap in the
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH of every program.
