32 While <application>systemd</application> was installed when
33 building LFS, there are many features provided by the package that
34 were not included in the initial installation because
35 <application>Linux-PAM</application> was not yet installed.
36 The <application>systemd</application> package needs to be
37 rebuilt to provide a working <command>systemd-logind</command> service,
38 which provides many additional features for dependent packages.

268 BLFS system with UEFI if following <xref linkend='grub-setup'/>.
269 And, it requires the <application>pefile</application> Python module
270 at runtime, so if it's enabled but <application>pefile</application>
271 is not installed, in the test suite one test for it will fail. To
272 enable <command>systemd-ukify</command>, install the

278 <!-- EDITORS NOTE: Explanation on removing userdbd and homed:
279 In BLFS, we do not fully support disk encryption. We offer instructions for
280 building 'cryptsetup' as a dependency, but we do not offer instructions for
281 actually configuring it. In addition, we generally do not include
282 functionality that could potentially conflict with other packages, or that
283 is not of any use to us (in an enterprise configuration using Thin Clients
284 or laptops with LUKS encryption, it could make sense though, but that isn't
285 the configuration that we natively support).
286
287 A few of the complications of systemd-homed include:
288 - SSH Logins
289 - Disk Space Assignments
290 - UID Assignments (chown() on login)
291 (See https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/media/homed-asg2019.pdf)
292
293 In an article I read when systemd-homed was originally unveiled, I remember
294 reading about systemd-homed causing problems with OpenSSH Private Key Auth
295 because the user would have to login at the console in order to unlock
296 their home directory, thus allowing the private key to be unlocked and
297 processed by OpenSSH. Since BLFS does not fully support encrypted disks,
298 and because systemd-homed is incompatible with our usage of useradd /
299 traditional UNIX users and groups, I advise that we take the following
300 approach to avoid any confusion:
301
302 - Leave the added Short Descriptions for homectl and userdbctl
303 - Add the above command explanations and restore the previous behavior
304
305 Should we decide to enable homed by default anytime in the future,
306 let's move cryptsetup to recommended or required.
307
308 I would be open to discussing this after the next systemd version when
309 systemd-homed has matured a bit more. -renodr -->
