This allows you to configure extra files that should be appended to your
crontab. Implemented by writing to /etc/crontab when the cron service starts.
Would be nicer to use a cron that supports /etc/cron.d but that would require
us to patch vixie-cron.
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
That is, you can say
security.pam.services.sshd = { options... };
instead of
security.pam.services = [ { name = "sshd"; options... } ];
making it easier to override PAM settings from other modules.
