Systemd-246
Introduction to systemd
While systemd was installed when
building LFS, there are many features provided by the package that
were not included in the initial installation because Linux-PAM was not yet installed. The
systemd package needs to be
rebuilt to provide a working systemd-logind service, which
provides many additional features for dependent packages.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-10.0
platform.

Installation of systemd
Remove an unneeded group, render
,
from the default udev rules:
sed -i 's/GROUP="render", //' rules.d/50-udev-default.rules.in
Rebuild systemd by running the
following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
meson --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
-Dblkid=true \
-Dbuildtype=release \
-Ddefault-dnssec=no \
-Dfirstboot=false \
-Dinstall-tests=false \
-Dldconfig=false \
-Dman=auto \
-Drootprefix= \
-Drootlibdir=/lib \
-Dsplit-usr=true \
-Dsysusers=false \
-Drpmmacrosdir=no \
-Db_lto=false \
-Dhomed=false \
-Duserdb=false \
-Ddocdir=/usr/share/doc/systemd-246 \
.. &&
ninja
Note
For the best test results, make sure you run the testsuite from a
system that is booted by the same systemd version you are rebuilding.
To test the results, issue: ninja
test.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
Command Explanations
-Duserdb=false
: Removes a
daemon that does not offer any use under a BLFS configuration. If
you wish to enable the userdbd
daemon, replace "false" with "true" in the above meson command.
-Dhomed=false
: Remove a
daemon that does not offer any use under a traditional BLFS
configuration, especially using accounts created with useradd. To
enable systemd-homed, first ensure that you have cryptsetup-2.3.3 and libpwquality-1.4.2, and then change
"false" to "true" in the above meson command.
Configuring systemd
The /etc/pam.d/system-session
file
needs to be modified and a new file needs to be created in order
for systemd-logind to
work correctly. Run the following commands as the root
user:
cat >> /etc/pam.d/system-session << "EOF"
# Begin Systemd addition
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_systemd.so
# End Systemd addition
EOF
cat > /etc/pam.d/systemd-user << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/pam.d/systemd-user
account required pam_access.so
account include system-account
session required pam_env.so
session required pam_limits.so
session required pam_unix.so
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session optional pam_systemd.so
auth required pam_deny.so
password required pam_deny.so
# End /etc/pam.d/systemd-user
EOF
Warning
If upgrading from a previous version of systemd and an initrd is
used for system boot, you should generate a new initrd before
rebooting the system.

Listed below are the newly installed libraries and directories
along with short descriptions.
Installed Programs:
homectl (if cryptsetup-2.3.3 is installed) and
userdbctl (optionally)
Installed Libraries:

)
Installed Directories:
None
Short Descriptions
homectl
|
is a tool to create, remove, change, or inspect a home
directory managed by systemd-homed; note
that it's useless for the classic UNIX users and home
directories which we are using in LFS/BLFS book
|
userdbctl
|
inspects users, groups, and group memberships
|
pam_systemd.so
|
is a PAM module used to register user sessions with the
systemd login manager,
systemd-logind.
