36 building LFS, there are many features provided by the package that
37 were not included in the initial installation because

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.

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