Eelco Dolstra f729f12e4e Some cleanups in the activation script:
* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
  never makes sense not to have it there.  It no longer needs to be
  declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
  string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

Eelco Dolstra c089738bdc * Use the shadow' package instead of pwdutils', `pam_login' and
`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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell d7406769ac Making /var/run/utmp writable by the 'utmp' group.
Then, people can choose a setgid utmp for their xterm, konsole or whatever to get the terminals
reported there.

Eelco Dolstra a104f07a07 * Move the definition of the Nix build users out of user-groups.nix to
nix-daemon.nix.
* Add an option ‘nix.nrBuildUsers’ to allow the number of build users
  to be overriden.

Eelco Dolstra 0d095de38a * Revert r18985, but now handle the case where a nixbld user doesn't
exist yet.  Ludo's original patch only worked in the "update" case.
  Also, do this only for the nixbld group.

Marc Weber 6c30ba3e48 fix nix-build trouble after fresh install:
problem:
Nix only recognizes nixbld users which have nixbld set in extraGroups.
After installation the user was created by activate with group='nixbld'
and extraGroups=[]
After rebooting a conditional shell script fixed this by adding
extraGroups=["nixbld"].

This patches creates the user they way it was in the past with
group='nobody' and extraGroups=["nixbld"].

Another solution would be making nix be aware of the primary group as
well. However this would require everyone to update Nix after updating
NixOS.

Eelco Dolstra 331bee12a4 * Fold the functionality of guest-users.nix into users-groups.nix by
adding an attribute "password" that defines the default password for
  an account.  The default (null, as opposed to the empty string)
  means not to set a password.

Eelco Dolstra dba1d48b78 * Move the uid/gid mappings into a module. This allows other modules
to use it through config.ids.{uids,gids} rather than `import
  relative-path/ids.nix'.

Eelco Dolstra ec55562ec3 * Move the configuration of the pwdutils (passwd, useradd etc.) to
modules/programs/pwdutils.
* Renamed config.system.shell to config.users.defaultUserShell and
  updated the description to make clear it has to be a non-store
  path.
