The order of sudoers entries is significant. The man page for sudoers(5)
notes:
Where there are multiple matches, the last match is used (which is not
necessarily the most specific match).
This module adds a rule for group "wheel" matching all commands. If you
wanted to add a more specific rule allowing members of the "wheel" group
to run command `foo` without a password, you'd need to use mkAfter to
ensure your rule comes after the more general rule.
extraRules = lib.mkAfter [
{
groups = [ "wheel" ];
commands = [
{
command = "${pkgs.foo}/bin/foo";
options = [ "NOPASSWD" "SETENV" ];
}
]
}
];
Otherwise, when configuration options are merged, if the general rule
ends up after the specific rule, it will dictate the behavior even when
running the `foo` command.
This introduces an option that allows us to turn off stateful generation
of Diffie-Hellman parameters, which in some way is still "stateful" as
the generated DH params file is non-deterministic.
However what we can avoid with this is to have an increased surface for
failures during system startup, because generation of the parameters is
done during build-time.
Aside from adding a NixOS VM test it also restructures the type of the
security.dhparams.params option, so that it's a submodule.
A new defaultBitSize option is also there to allow users to set a
system-wide default.
I added a release notes entry that described what has changed and also
included a few notes for module developers using this module, as the
first usage already popped up in NixOS/nixpkgs#39507.
Thanks to @Ekleog and @abbradar for reviewing.
This allows to set the default bit size for all the Diffie-Hellman
parameters defined in security.dhparams.params and it's particularly
useful so that we can set it to a very low value in tests (so it doesn't
take ages to generate).
Regardless for the use in testing, this also has an impact in production
systems if the owner wants to set all of them to a different size than
2048, they don't need to set it individually for every params that are
set.
I've added a subtest to the "dhparams" NixOS test to ensure this is
working properly.

While he suggests is 3072 I'm using 2048 now, because it's the default
of "openssl dhparam". If users want to have a higher value, they can
still change it.

Previously the script would contain an empty `if` block (which is invalid
syntax) if both `data.activationDelay == null` and `data.postRun == ""`. Fix
this by adding a no-op `true`.
First of all let's start with a clean up the multiline string
indentation for descriptions, because having two indentation levels
after description is a waste of screen estate.
A quick survey in the form of the following also reveals that the
majority of multiline strings in nixpkgs is starting the two beginning
quotes in the same line:
$ find -name '*.nix' -exec sed -n -e '/=$/ { n; /'\'\''/p }' {} + | wc -l
817
$ find -name '*.nix' -exec grep "= *'' *\$" {} + | wc -l
14818
The next point is to get the type, default and example attributes on top
of the description because that's the way it's rendered in the manual.
Most services have their enable option close to the beginning of the
file, so let's move it to the top.
Also, I found the script attribute for dhparams-init.service a bit hard
to read as it was using string concatenation to split a "for" loop.
Now for the more substantial clean ups rather than just code style:
* Remove the "with lib;" at the beginning of the module, because it
makes it easier to do a quick check with "nix-instantiate --parse".
* Use ConditionPathExists instead of test -e for checking whether we
need to generate the dhparams file. This avoids spawning a shell if
the file exists already and it's probably more common that it will
exist, except for the initial creation of course.
* When cleaning up old dhparams file, use RemainAfterExit so that the
unit won't be triggered again whenever we stop and start a service
depending on it.
* Capitalize systemd unit descriptions to be more in par with most
other unit descriptions (also see 0c5e837b66).
* Use "=" instead of "==" for conditionals using []. It's just a very
small nitpick though and it will only fail for POSIX shells. Bash on
the other side accepts it anyway.

This option allows us to turn off stateful generation of Diffie-Hellman
parameters, which in some way is still stateful as the generated DH
params file is non-deterministic.
However what we can avoid with this is to have an increased surface for
failures during system startup, because generation of the parameters is
done during build-time.
Another advantage of this is that we no longer need to take care of
cleaning up the files that are no longer used and in my humble opinion I
would have preferred that #11505 (which puts the dhparams in the Nix
store) would have been merged instead of #22634 (which we have now).
Luckily we can still change that and this change gives the user the
option to put the dhparams into the Nix store.
Beside of the more obvious advantages pointed out here, this also
effects test runtime if more services are starting to use this (for
example see #39507 and #39288), because generating DH params could take
a long time depending on the bit size which adds up to test runtime.
If we generate the DH params in a separate derivation, subsequent test
runs won't need to wait for DH params generation during bootup.
Of course, tests could still mock this by force-disabling the service
and adding a service or activation script that places pre-generated DH
params in /var/lib/dhparams but this would make tests less readable and
the workaround would have to be made for each test affected.
Note that the 'stateful' option is still true by default so that we are
backwards-compatible with existing systems.

We're going to implement an option which allows us to turn off stateful
handling of Diffie-Hellman parameter files by putting them into the Nix
store.
However, modules now might need a way to reference these files, so we
add a now path option to every param specified, which carries a
read-only value of the path where to find the corresponding DH params
file.
I've also improved the description of security.dhparams.params a bit so
that it uses <warning/> and <note/>.
The NixOS VM test also reflects this change and checks whether the old
way to specify the bit size still works.

This is needed because simp_le expects two certificates in fullchain.pem, leading to error:
> Not enough PEM encoded messages were found in fullchain.pem; at least 2 were expected, found 1.
We now create a CA and sign the key with it instead, providing correct fullchain.pem.
Also cleanup service a bit -- use PATH and a private temporary directory (which
is more suitable).
Kernel symlinks don't have st_size. Really thought I tested this, guess I ran the
wrong NixOS test :(
