36 While <application>systemd</application> was installed when
37 building LFS, there are many features provided by the package that
38 were not included in the initial installation because

40 The <application>systemd</application> package needs to be
41 rebuilt to provide a working <command>systemd-logind</command> service,
42 which provides many additional features for dependent packages.

267 <!-- EDITORS NOTE: Explanation on removing userdbd and homed:
268 In BLFS, we do not fully support disk encryption. We offer instructions for
269 building 'cryptsetup' as a dependency, but we do not offer instructions for
270 actually configuring it. In addition, we generally do not include
271 functionality that could potentially conflict with other packages, or that
272 is not of any use to us (in an enterprise configuration using Thin Clients
273 or laptops with LUKS encryption, it could make sense though, but that isn't
274 the configuration that we natively support).
275
276 A few of the complications of systemd-homed include:
277 - SSH Logins
278 - Disk Space Assignments
279 - UID Assignments (chown() on login)
280 (See https://cfp.all-systems-go.io/media/homed-asg2019.pdf)
281
282 In an article I read when systemd-homed was originally unveiled, I remember
283 reading about systemd-homed causing problems with OpenSSH Private Key Auth
284 because the user would have to login at the console in order to unlock
285 their home directory, thus allowing the private key to be unlocked and
286 processed by OpenSSH. Since BLFS does not fully support encrypted disks,
287 and because systemd-homed is incompatible with our usage of useradd /
288 traditional UNIX users and groups, I advise that we take the following
289 approach to avoid any confusion:
290
291 - Leave the added Short Descriptions for homectl and userdbctl
292 - Add the above command explanations and restore the previous behavior
293
294 Should we decide to enable homed by default anytime in the future,
295 let's move cryptsetup to recommended or required.
296
297 I would be open to discussing this after the next systemd version when
298 systemd-homed has matured a bit more. -renodr -->
