The latter is a security risk, because it allows remote root logins
if a user enables sshd before setting a proper root password.

it uses ~/.xsession-errors<optional number> if there are concurrent

* Modularised the xorg.conf generation. For instance, the Wacom and
Synaptics support has been moved into separate modules. The
contents of xorg.conf is defined by the option
services.xserver.config, and various other options for specific
sections (e.g. services.xserver.serverLayoutSection).
* displayManager.job.env: made this an attribute set.
* tcpEnable -> enableTCP for naming consistency.
* defaultDepth can be set to 0 to leave it undefined (needed for the
vmware driver).
* Removed some options that seem obsolete or are now the default

* Removed services.xserver.package. This can now be done using
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides.

* Let ConsoleKit track the current logins instead of pam_console.
Udev now takes care of setting the device permissions to the active
user. This works much better, since pam_console wouldn't apply
permissions to new (hot-plugged) devices. Also, the udev+ConsoleKit
approach supports user switching. (We don't have that for X yet,
but it already works for logins on virtual consoles: if you switch
between different users on differents VCs with Alt+Fn, the device
ownership will be changed automatically.)

machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
configuration. This is mostly useful for testing configuration
changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
"nixos-rebuild test"). The VM can be started as follows:
$ nixos-rebuild build-vm
$ ./result/bin/run-*-vm
which starts a KVM/QEMU instance. Additional QEMU options can be
passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
(e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
guest). The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices. Instead, at
startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
store the VM's root filesystem.
Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
store with the host (through a CIFS mount). However, because the
Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
run Nix build actions inside the VM. Therefore the VM can only be
reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
restarting the VM.

jobs, e.g. (from the nscd job)
{ name = "nscd";
description = "Name Service Cache Daemon";
startOn = "startup";
stopOn = "shutdown";
environment = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = nssModulesPath; };
preStart =

mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/db/nscd

exec = "${pkgs.glibc}/sbin/nscd -f ${./nscd.conf} -d 2> /dev/null";
};
The Upstart job is generated from this. The main goal is to provide
some abstraction from the Upstart syntax. For instance, this should
make it easier to upgrade to newer versions of Upstart, to switch to
an entirely different process management system (e.g. initng or
launchd), or to test a job independantly from Upstart. (However the
startOn and stopOn attributes are tied to Upstart's event model.)
