I had some problems with LDAP user lookups not working properly
at boot. I found that invalidating passwd and group on the
ip-up event (when nscd-invalidate starts) helped a bit.
Subtle: dhcpcd.service would call resolvconf during shutdown, which in
turn would start invalidate-nscd.service, causing the shutdown to be
cancelled. Instead, give nscd.service a proper reload action, and do
"systemctl reload --no-block nscd.service". The --no-block is
necessary to prevent that command from waiting until a timeout occurs
(bug in systemd?).
event is emitted by dhclient and by the network-interfaces job in
case of statically configured interfaces. Invalidating the cache is
necessary to get rid of negative queries.

jobs, e.g. (from the nscd job)
{ name = "nscd";
description = "Name Service Cache Daemon";
startOn = "startup";
stopOn = "shutdown";
environment = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = nssModulesPath; };
preStart =
''
mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/run/nscd
mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/db/nscd
'';
exec = "${pkgs.glibc}/sbin/nscd -f ${./nscd.conf} -d 2> /dev/null";
};
The Upstart job is generated from this. The main goal is to provide
some abstraction from the Upstart syntax. For instance, this should
make it easier to upgrade to newer versions of Upstart, to switch to
an entirely different process management system (e.g. initng or
launchd), or to test a job independantly from Upstart. (However the
startOn and stopOn attributes are tied to Upstart's event model.)

those that run daemons) to modules/services. This probably broke
some things since there are a few relative paths in modules
(e.g. imports of system/ids.nix).
* Moved some PAM modules out of etc/pam.d to the directories of NixOS
modules that use them.
