* Sudo configuration, enabled through security.sudo.enable (on by
default). The contents of the sudoers file is specified in
security.sudo.configFile. The default sudoers file allows members
of the new "wheel" group to run any command.

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.

* Put the top-level system config on the CD, otherwise root doesn't
get a working login shell on the CD (and the system PATH is broken
as well).

This approach is often actually nicer than adding to the default
profile using nix-env, since it's declarative, and all packages
declared here will be updated automatically when you run
nixos-rebuild.

security.extraSetuidPrograms.

* In /etc/profile, put /var/run/current-system/sw/[s]bin in $PATH, not
the targets of those symlink. Otherwise users need to log out to
make configuration changes to the systemPath take effect.

hence this indirection.

configuration, and use it as a garbage collection root to prevent
the current configuration from being GC'ed (which was previously
possible if the configuration was activated using "nixos-rebuild
test", or if the configuration's generation symlink had been removed
from the system profile).
This isn't quite right yet due to a layering problem:
activate-configuration.sh doesn't know the top-level store path of
the configuration.

- Set the desktop background to the image ~/.background-image.
- Depending on services.xserver.sessionType, start an xterm or a
gnome-terminal as the "desktop" :-)
* Upstart jobs can now declare extra packages to be added to the
system path through the `extraPath' attribute. For instance, the
ALSA job adds alsa-utils, and the X server job adds lots of stuff
depending on the X configuration (e.g., xrandr, gnome-terminal,
twm).
* Create a cdrom/dvd symlink for SCSI sr? devices.
