As suggested by Sergey Bugaev on bug-hurd
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2023-05//msg00455.html
* gnu/services/base.scm (static-networking->hurd-pfinet-options): Use
/DEV/ethX. Use long options for settrans.

Without this a user's pam-limits-service-type configuration does not have an
effect when using lightdm.
* gnu/services/base.scm (pam-limits-service-type): Add "lightdm" to the list.
Previously, with shepherd 0.10.0, guix-daemon would start quickly,
possibly before avahi-daemon is running. Consequently, its "guix
discover" child process would exit immediately with a warning saying
"Avahi daemon is not running".
* gnu/services/base.scm (guix-shepherd-service): When DISCOVER? is true,
add 'avahi-daemon' to 'requirement'.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%root-file-system-shepherd-service): In 'stop'
method, remove reference to 'stop-logging'. That procedure is gone in
Shepherd 0.10.0, leading to an unbound-variable exception.
Additionally, calling is unnecessary since 0.4.0, where shepherd logs to
syslog (thus the open file descriptor is not backed by an on-disk file).
This is a followup to 57e731c358.
* gnu/services/base.scm (agetty-shepherd-service): Change 'stop' method
to return #f immediately when the running value is 'idle.
Fixes a race condition when starting services in parallel with shepherd
0.10.x whereby a service might create files and directories with umask #o137.
An example is the bitlbee service with its least-authority wrapper: the
wrapper would create a tree with directories set to #o640, thereby
making the whole directory tree inaccessible.
* gnu/services/base.scm (syslog-shepherd-service): Pass #:file-creation-mask
to 'make-forkexec-constructor' instead of calling 'umask' in PID 1.
This causes authentication failures such as those generated by SSH brute force
attacks to appear in /var/log/secure, which is picked up by tools such as
fail2ban.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-syslog.conf): Add a auth.info selector for
the /var/log/secure log.
Series-to: 62802@debbugs.gnu.org
This is a cosmetic change.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-syslog.conf): Add a comment referencing the
documentation. Strip the extraneous leading trailing white space indent.
Having the configuration live at a static location makes it possible to
hot-reload it.
* gnu/services/base.scm (syslog.conf): New variable.
(syslog-etc, syslog-shepherd-service): New procedures.
(syslog-service-type): Rewrite using the above new variable and procedures,
extending etc-service-type with its configuration file.
Previously, on a typical setup without "console=ttyS0" or similar in
'kernel-arguments', the 'term-console' Shepherd service would always be
marked as failing to start. This is undesirable because it raises a
false alarm: the service is expected to do nothing in this case.
This patch instead marks it as succeeding and logs a message explaining
it's doing nothing.
* gnu/services/base.scm (agetty-shepherd-service): In 'start' method,
succeed when TTY is #f and print a message.
Reported by bjc on #guix.
* gnu/services/base.scm (valid-name, cidr->netmask): Wrap in 'eval-when'
since they are used by "compile-time procedures" (macros).
The 'stop' method of Shepherd services is supposed to return #f on
success.
* gnu/services/base.scm (console-font-shepherd-services): 'stop' method
returns #f.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Replace rngd-service with rngd-service-type.
Document <rngd-configuration>.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<rngd-configuration>): Set default values from
the values in the now deprecated 'rngd-service' procedure.
(rngd-service): Deprecate procedure.
(rngd-service-type): Set default value.

Fixes a regression introduce in 01334a61c7
that would prevent system cross-compilation (with "guix system image
--target=...") due to 'font-gnu-unifont' depending on 'perl-gd', which
currently cannot be cross-compiled.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-console-font, kmscon-service-type):
Refer to 'font-gnu-unifont' with 'ungexp-native'.
It has even better language support than LatGrkCyr-8x16 and can show
fancy progress bars.
* gnu/services/base.scm (%default-console-font): Use unifont.
* gnu/services/base.scm (<host>): New record type.
(host): New procedure.
(hosts-service-type): New variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Service Reference): Document it.
Co-authored-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
* gnu/services/base.scm (<greetd-terminal-configuration>)[source-profile?]:
New field.
(make-greetd-terminal-configuration-file): Serialize new field to
configuration file.
* doc/guix.texi (Base Services): Document it.
This provides glyphs for additional fonts such as Amharic that were
otherwise missing.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60164>.
Reported by Wolf <wolf@wolfsden.cz>.
* gnu/services/base.scm (kmscon-service-type): In 'start' method,
pass #:environment-variables to set 'XDG_DATA_DIRS'.
This reduces the closure size of systems by removing one glibc
copy--namely (@ (gnu packages base) glibc) in addition to (@ (gnu
packages commencement) glibc-final).
* gnu/services/base.scm (<nscd-configuration>)[glibc]: Change default
value to use 'let-system' and 'canonical-package' as appropriate.
