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

241 and then change "false" to "true" in the above meson command.

243
244 <!-- EDITORS NOTE: Explanation on removing userdbd and homed:
245 In BLFS, we do not fully support disk encryption. We offer instructions for
246 building 'cryptsetup' as a dependency, but we do not offer instructions for
247 actually configuring it. In addition, we generally do not include
248 functionality that could potentially conflict with other packages, or that
249 is not of any use to us (in an enterprise configuration using Thin Clients
250 or laptops with LUKS encryption, it could make sense though, but that isn't
251 the configuration that we natively support).
252
253 A few of the complications of systemd-homed include:
254 - SSH Logins
255 - Disk Space Assignments
256 - UID Assignments (chown() on login)
257 (See https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/media/homed-asg2019.pdf)
258
259 In an article I read when systemd-homed was originally unveiled, I remember
260 reading about systemd-homed causing problems with OpenSSH Private Key Auth
261 because the user would have to login at the console in order to unlock
262 their home directory, thus allowing the private key to be unlocked and
263 processed by OpenSSH. Since BLFS does not fully support encrypted disks,
264 and because systemd-homed is incompatible with our usage of useradd /
265 traditional UNIX users and groups, I advise that we take the following
266 approach to avoid any confusion:
267
268 - Leave the added Short Descriptions for homectl and userdbctl
269 - Add the above command explanations and restore the previous behavior
270
271 Should we decide to enable homed by default anytime in the future,
272 let's move cryptsetup to recommended or required.
273
274 I would be open to discussing this after the next systemd version when
275 systemd-homed has matured a bit more. -renodr -->
