Eelco Dolstra 4b7e9b5401 * Instructions on testing the installer without having to make an ISO
/ burn a CD, namely by making a loopback target file system.
* Installer: continue if the MANIFEST on the CD is missing (useful if
  we're not actually installing from a CD).

Eelco Dolstra b01ef92437 * Use pam_env to set the PATH for SSH logins. This allows
non-interactive ssh sessions (such as "ssh host command") to work
  properly.  This should probably be used for other kinds of logins as
  well.

2007-01-22 17:17:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 327cb83cf2 * Make it possible to turn off the generation of fonts.conf. This is
important for the installation CD, where we don't want a dependency
  on all those fonts.  Of course, it's quite nice that turning off the
  generation of a file automatically removes the dependencies on the
  files referenced by that file.

Eelco Dolstra 6cb01a0b22 * Use a small XSLT script that copies the original fonts.conf from the
fontconfig distribution, but replaces all <dir> entries with the
  directories specified in the $fontDirectories parameter.  This way
  we get all the font mapping rules from the original fonts.conf
  (e.g., aliases like "serif") and some other nice things.

* Factor out the common parts of the PAM config files.

svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=7694
2007-01-16 13:30:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 554ae9908b * Some slightly hacky LDAP support. The problem is that Glibc has 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.
