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.
* Allow additional setuid programs to be specified in
security.extraSetuidPrograms.

accounts. Obviously we cannot put the store path of bash in
/etc/passwd since it's too fragile (it could be garbage collected),

- 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.

sources in /etc/nixos with a Subversion checkout of those trees.
This should be run after a successful installation if you want to

be able to find the LDAP NSS module, which is normally installed in
Glibc's prefix (under /lib/libnss_ldap...). Of course, we can't do
that; it wouldn't be pure. As a workaround, we simply add nss_ldap
to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH of the nscd daemon, which every other program
uses for lookups. So we don't have to put nss_ldap in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH of every program.
