TODO revision 19aa7c4fef4a3f1dfc6d9980574ca220a6a40a71
409N/ABugfixes:
1N/A* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
1N/A
1N/A* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
1N/A
1N/A* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
1N/A automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
1N/A anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
1N/A
1N/A* make polkit checks async
1N/A
1N/A* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
1N/A
1N/AFedora 19:
1N/A
1N/A* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
1N/A libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
1N/A name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
1N/A that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
1N/A
1N/A* cgroup attrs:
835N/A - update dbus interface docs in wiki
1N/A
1N/A* localed:
22N/A - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
22N/A
0N/AFeatures:
0N/A
221N/A* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
539N/A
539N/A* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
221N/A
14N/A* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
14N/A without dropping the location cache entirely.
221N/A
14N/A* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
14N/A should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
22N/A
22N/A* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
22N/A any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
22N/A usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
22N/A needs setuid().
22N/A
14N/A* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
926N/A
926N/A* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
926N/A
0N/A* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
116N/A
926N/A* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
660N/A
0N/A* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
391N/A
0N/A* we need dynamic units
926N/A
192N/A* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
0N/A
0N/A* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
479N/A
926N/A* test/:
941N/A - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
565N/A - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
565N/A - remove all the duplicated code in test/
926N/A
926N/A* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
926N/A
926N/A* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
926N/A
926N/A* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
296N/A so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
327N/A file.
26N/A
926N/A* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
926N/A kmod static-nodes
926N/A call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
1035N/A
1035N/A* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
969N/A units.
565N/A
1271N/A* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
565N/A destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
565N/A /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
1086N/A destination.
429N/A
384N/A* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
1086N/A
1086N/A* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
1266N/A all units we stop before the isolating unit...
1086N/A
1266N/A* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
1266N/A /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
1086N/A and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
1086N/A
1086N/A* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
1086N/A
497N/A* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
497N/A
497N/A* we should log capabilities too
497N/A
497N/A* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
384N/A - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
384N/A - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
1266N/A old.
384N/A
1266N/A* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
429N/A need manual exponential loops after all
301N/A
301N/A* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
301N/A kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
1086N/A installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
301N/A whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
1266N/A
1266N/A* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
1266N/A
1266N/A* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
1266N/A the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
384N/A and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
0N/A that automatically.
0N/A
0N/A* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
301N/A
662N/A* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
598N/A
996N/A* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
884N/A
926N/A* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
362N/A
162N/A* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
301N/A
342N/A* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
987N/A
662N/A* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
583N/A
607N/A* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
662N/A
582N/A* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
1234N/A
938N/A* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
938N/A
1271N/A* man: add more examples to man pages
1271N/A
310N/A* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
551N/A
551N/A* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
551N/A
551N/A* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
938N/A
938N/A* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
662N/A file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
938N/A name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
926N/A individually.
926N/A
539N/A* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
539N/A
429N/A* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
26N/A
0N/A* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
362N/A suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
934N/A
0N/A* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
0N/A database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
384N/A so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
1086N/A will be activated.
0N/A
104N/A* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
104N/A
104N/A* introduce ExecCondition= in services
104N/A
104N/A* EFI:
429N/A - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
429N/A - write man page for efi boot generator
429N/A - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
693N/A - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
693N/A - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
429N/A
526N/A* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
526N/A
526N/A* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
526N/A
526N/A* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
526N/A https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
526N/A
526N/A* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
526N/A
526N/A* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
526N/A
526N/A* logind:
526N/A - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
526N/A - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
526N/A - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
526N/A - Add pretty name for seats in logind
301N/A - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
996N/A - logind: spawn user@..service on login
996N/A - logind: non-local X11 server handling
219N/A - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
996N/A - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
221N/A - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
996N/A - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
996N/A - add configuration/switches to use
219N/A freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
221N/A standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
221N/A
996N/A* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
219N/A
219N/A* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
219N/A
219N/A* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
221N/A
221N/A* journal:
301N/A - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
301N/A <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
219N/A http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
219N/A - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
219N/A - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
219N/A - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
575N/A - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
575N/A - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
996N/A - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
996N/A - journal: reuse XZ context
219N/A - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
301N/A - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
1266N/A "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
301N/A message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
219N/A - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
301N/A - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
301N/A - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
301N/A - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
219N/A - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
307N/A and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
219N/A - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
526N/A - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
526N/A - journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
526N/A - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
556N/A - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
301N/A - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
219N/A - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
1174N/A - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
1174N/A - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
1174N/A - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
1174N/A - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
526N/A - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
526N/A - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
219N/A - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
996N/A - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
996N/A - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
996N/A - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
996N/A
996N/A* document:
996N/A - document unit_name_mangle()
996N/A - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
996N/A [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
996N/A - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
1102N/A - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
1102N/A - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
1102N/A - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
996N/A - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
996N/A - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
996N/A
996N/A* systemctl:
789N/A - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
770N/A - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
575N/A - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
575N/A - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
575N/A nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
575N/A about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
575N/A - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
575N/A - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
575N/A - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
575N/A - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
575N/A - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
526N/A - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
219N/A - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
219N/A
219N/A* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
219N/A
221N/A* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
301N/A
384N/A* timer units:
384N/A - configurable jitter for timer events
301N/A - timer events with system resume
384N/A - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
926N/A o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
384N/A o DST changes
301N/A - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
384N/A
926N/A* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
565N/A
221N/A* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
301N/A - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
301N/A - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
301N/A This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
301N/A mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
301N/A user did not request anything like it.
301N/A
926N/A* hwdb:
926N/A - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
307N/A - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
926N/A
219N/A* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
301N/A output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
926N/A surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
926N/A
384N/A* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
384N/A the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
301N/A unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
926N/A we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
301N/A logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
1174N/A better supported alternative.
1174N/A
1174N/A* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
1174N/A
1174N/A* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
1174N/A
1174N/A* If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
1174N/A
1234N/A* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
301N/A* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
301N/A* fedup: generator
926N/A
539N/A* timedated:
384N/A - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
301N/A
219N/A* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
526N/A
526N/A* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
556N/A
556N/A* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
526N/A
526N/A* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
526N/A - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
526N/A - superset of tmpfiles model
526N/A - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
391N/A - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
361N/A - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
526N/A
526N/A* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
556N/A waiting for the timeout
556N/A
526N/A* high level net_prio setting in execution context
556N/A
556N/A* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
556N/A
221N/A* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
556N/A
556N/A* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
219N/A
301N/A* nspawn:
565N/A - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
526N/A - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
526N/A - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
526N/A - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
556N/A - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
556N/A - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
219N/A lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
219N/A interfaces to the container
526N/A - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
526N/A - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
526N/A - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
526N/A
526N/A* cryptsetup:
1063N/A - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
1063N/A - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
1063N/A https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
556N/A - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
219N/A
301N/A* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
1087N/A
235N/A* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
235N/A https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
235N/A
235N/A* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
236N/A
251N/A* make timer units go away after they elapsed
236N/A
235N/A* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
235N/A (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
222N/A
583N/A* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
583N/A
583N/A* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
583N/A
583N/A* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
583N/A
583N/A* Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
583N/A
583N/A* system.conf should have controls for cgroups
583N/A
583N/A* allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
583N/A
789N/A* explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
583N/A
583N/A* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
583N/A
583N/A* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
583N/A
583N/A* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
583N/A
583N/A* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
583N/A currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
583N/A can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
583N/A being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
583N/A when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
583N/A but much rather a disconnect on success.
583N/A
834N/A* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
1234N/A
834N/A* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
605N/A
605N/A* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno

235N/A
235N/A* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.

1266N/A
235N/A* move passno parsing to fstab generator
235N/A
222N/A* automount: implement expire:
526N/A - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
526N/A - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
526N/A - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
266N/A - blocking, needs a thread
266N/A - run until -EAGAIN
565N/A - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
526N/A - call umount
526N/A - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
526N/A - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
526N/A
526N/A* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
222N/A
227N/A* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
222N/A
235N/A* ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK

235N/A
391N/A* introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
391N/A

235N/A
235N/A* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
583N/A
301N/A* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
384N/A
227N/A* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?

419N/A needs to be auto-respawned?
419N/A
419N/A* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
419N/A
419N/A* tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
419N/A
419N/A* for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
419N/A
419N/A* hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
419N/A

1271N/A
1271N/A* support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
1271N/A
1271N/A* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1271N/A when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1271N/A assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1271N/A
1271N/A* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
1271N/A the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
1271N/A
1280N/A* and a dbus call to generate target from current state

1271N/A - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
1271N/A
1271N/AExternal:
1271N/A
1271N/A* dbus:
1271N/A - dbus --user

1271N/A
1271N/A* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
1271N/A in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
1271N/A to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
1271N/A we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want

1271N/A* dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
1271N/A
1271N/A* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
1271N/A
1271N/A* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
1271N/A
1271N/A* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
1271N/A
1271N/A* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
1271N/A
1271N/A* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
1271N/A

1271N/A
1271N/ARegularly:
1271N/A
1271N/A* look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()

1271N/A* use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
1271N/A
1271N/A* link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
1271N/A
1271N/AScheduled for removal or fixing:
