29c5178bdf * Declarative specification of user accounts. Jobs can now specify a
list of user accounts that the job needs to run.  For instance, the
  SSH daemon job says:

    { name = "sshd";
      uid = (import ../system/ids.nix).uids.sshd;
      description = "SSH privilege separation user";
      home = "/var/empty";
    }

  The activation script creates the system users/groups and updates
  them as well.  So a change in the Nix expression can be realised in
  /etc/{group,passwd} by running nixos-rebuild.

3ab4e0f17f * Allow packages to be added to the system path like so:
environment = {
    extraPackages = pkgs: [
      pkgs.firefox
      pkgs.thunderbird
    ];
  };

  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.

be8bcebfe0 * Use /var/run/current-system/sw/bin/bash as the default shell for new
accounts.  Obviously we cannot put the store path of bash in
  /etc/passwd since it's too fragile (it could be garbage collected),
  hence this indirection.

8d731dacad * X session script:
- 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
  keep NixOS up to date from Subversion.

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.
