systemd TODO:
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal Can someone elaborate and provide more details, ideas, .. ? The current lastlog is sparse file and it's difficult to use for backup programs or integrity checkers, etc. So requests from users/customers are pretty common. The idea (from someone from RH) is to have very simple and tiny library that provides unified API for different backends (classic lastlog, systemd journal, etc.) to keep applications portable. Something like: https://github.com/marmolak/liblastlog2 Frankly, I'd like to see something more than only lastlog, but also utmp, wtmp support. Note that I'm not involved in the project, but as login(1), last(1), ... maintainer I'd like to see a public discussion about this topic. Maybe all we need for things like lastlog and wtmp is journald and then a few #ifdef in applications like login(1), who(1) or PAM. Maybe it would be better than add an extra abstraction layer (by any library). Not sure, too many question :-) Karel -- Karel Zak <k...@redhat.com> http://karelzak.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
