Flushing is bad if the Nix store is on a remote filesystem accessed
over that interface.

Also added a interface option ‘prefixLength’ as a better alternative
to ‘subnetMask’.
Instead it's enough to depend on
sys-subsystem-net-devices-<interface>.device, which in turn has a
"wants" dependency on the service (if any) that creates the interface.
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).
Note that for attribute-based nix-env installations, the NixOS
channel contains Nixpkgs as its "pkgs" attribute, so
$ nix-env -iA nixos.pkgs.foo
will work instead of the old
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs_sys.foo
* Fix the path to root's channels installed in ~/.nix-defexpr.

You can now set the forwardX11 config option for the ssh client and server separately.
For server, the option means "allow clients to request X11 forwarding".
For client, the option means "request X11 forwarding by default on all connections".
I don't think it made sense to couple them. I might not even run the server on some machines.
Also, I ssh to a lot of machines, and rarely want X11 forwarding. The times I want it,
I use the -X/-Y option, or set it in my ~/.ssh/config.
I also decoupled the 'XAuthLocation' logic from forwardX11.
For my case where ssh client doesn't want forwarding by default, it still wants to set the path for the cases I do need it.
As this flag is the one that pulls in X11 dependencies, I changed the minimal profile and the no-x-libs config to check that instead now.

* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod. (Not
that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store. But at least
commands like "depmod -n" work now.) Reported by Kirill Elagin on
IRC.

The VirtualBox build in Nixpkgs is insecure because it uses the
"--disable-hardened" flag, which disables some checks in the
VirtualBox kernel module. Since getting rid of that flag looks like
too much work, it's better to ensure that only explicitly permitted
users have access to VirtualBox.
* Drop the 666 permission on "sonypi" because it's not clear why that
device should be world-writable.

window in which /bin/sh is missing. This can cause concurrently
running programs to fail (e.g. Hydra jobs =>
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2267831). You'd think the odds of this
are very low, but they're not.

Users who want a user-specific bin directory to override system paths should
configure that in their user-specific ~/.bashrc, not in the system-wide init
file. The global file shouldn't add directories from user homes to $PATH
without knowing whether those actually exist or whether the users even want
them in $PATH. On my system, for example, there is no ~/bin, so I don't want my
$PATH to look for one. Removing an erroneous entry from $PATH is cumbersome,
but adding one is easy, so it feels better to err on the side of caution.

pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

For example, I use the following settings to configure T-Mobile Internet
access on my laptop, which is connected to the cell phone by USB:
| environment.wvdial.dialerDefaults = ''
| Init1 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile"
| Modem Type = USB Modem
| Phone = *99#
| ISDN = 0
| Username = tm
| Password = tm
| Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
| Baud = 460800
| '';

* Moved bash-specific code from /etc/profile to /etc/bashrc.
* Moved general Bourne shell code from /etc/bashrc to /etc/profile.
* Added "include guards" to both files to ensure that they aren't sourced
multiple times (which would result in lots of redundancy in $PATH, etc.).
* Both files include each other to make sure that the correct system
environment is always defined.
* When the current user has installed the 'bash-completion' package in her
$HOME/.nix-profile, programmable completion is automatically enabled in
interactive shells.
* The /etc/skel/.bashrc we installed has been dropped because it is redundant.
