This especially annoyed me whenver I was doing nixos-rebuild switch and getting
logged out on all consoles. With this there now is services.mingetty.dontRestart
for heavy VT users to deactivate this behaviour.
during boot. Mountall ensures that these are done in the right
order. It's informed by udev about devices becoming available. It
emits some Upstart events upon reaching certain states, in
particular ‘local-filesystems’ after all local filesystems have been
mounted successfully, ‘remote-filesystems’ after all network
filesystems have been mounted, and ‘filesystem’ (sic) when all
filesystems have been mounted.
Currently, if a filesystem fails to mount or doesn't exist, then the
mingettys won't start and the boot will appear to hang. This is
because mountall doesn't emit an event for failing filesystems and
waits indefinitely for the filesystems to become available.
* The ‘filesystems’ and ‘swap’ Upstart jobs are gone. (Support for
encrypted swap devices is temporarily gone.)
* Generate a proper /etc/fstab from the ‘fileSystems’ and
‘swapDevices’ options.

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

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.
