Logind sessions are more generally useful than for device ownership.
For instances, ssh logins can be put in their own session (and thus
their own cgroup).
The environment variable "NIXOS_EXTRA_MODULES" is now checked to
contain a path to a file similar to modules/module-list.nix.
This gives the ability to include nixos modules that are not in the
nixos source tree.
This can be useful for modules that are still experimental, or which
aren't useful for other nixos users. Of course, this was already
possible to do this using a forked nixos tree, but with this
functionality, you can just rely on the nixos channel, easing things a
lot.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

services (rather than just login(1)). It's rather unexpected if
resource limits are not applied to (say) users logged in via SSH or
X11.

enabled by modules that need it (KDE < 4.7, Xfce).
* Don't enable the PolicyKit module by default either, it's also
obsolete (replaced by PolKit). It's still enabled if HAL is
enabled.

default.
It does not look very modular, and the manual may not look very good, but I think it
works better than before. And setting cron.enable = false and fcron.enable = true works fine.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

config.krb5.enable needs to be set as true.
Also use pam_ccreds to cache Kerberos credentials for offline logins.

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

Now both polkit-1 and old policykit are enabled. Packages that can use both will
be migrated to new polkit-1, than old one can be disabled.

the CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment variable. This allows curl to work
without the `-k' flag on https sites with a properly signed
certificate.
