Eelco Dolstra 49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD
appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs).  This allows you
  to run Nix operations on the Live CD.  However, we're not quite
  there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database.  So for
  instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
  hanging the system.

Eelco Dolstra f6fd10cbd8 * Support for system-wide distributed / multi-platform builds.
Just set nix.distributedBuilds to true and nix.buildMachines 
  to a list of machines that can perform Nix builds via SSH,
  and local builds will be forwarded appropriately.  So now
  any user can say something like

    nix-build /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/ --arg system '"powerpc-linux"' -A libxml2

  and the build for powerpc-linux will be forwarded to a machine 
  of that type.

Eelco Dolstra 2a4417d637 * make-etc / activate-configuration: allow /etc files to be installed
as regular files instead of symlinks to the store.
* 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.

Eelco Dolstra 1f1db4c48f * Use pam_console to change the ownership of various devices (sound,
CD-ROM drive, etc.) to the logged in user.  Woohoo!  Finally, no
  more chown /dev/snd/*.
* Get rid of spurious error messages about pam_ldap when we're not
  using LDAP.

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 7243eb1d1d * Create /bin on the CD to suppress the /bin/sh symlink creation
error.
* 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).

Eelco Dolstra be8bcebfe0 * Use /var/run/current-system/sw/bin/bash as the default shell for new
accounts.  Obviously we cannot put the store path of bash in
  /etc/passwd since it's too fragile (it could be garbage collected),
  hence this indirection.

Eelco Dolstra c10fe148a3 * /var/run/current-system symlinks to the top-level path of the system
configuration now.
* /var/run/booted-system symlinks to the system configuration used at
  boot time.

Eelco Dolstra 80a0904196 * Set /var/run/current-system to the currently active system
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.
