`xsslock` (which was originally packaged in 6cb1d1aaaf)
is a simple screensaver which connects a given screen locker (e.g.
`i3lock`) with `logind`. Whenever `loginctl lock-sessions` is invoked
the locker will be used to lock the screen. This works with its power
management features (e.g. `lid switch`) as well, so the PC can be locked
automatically when the lid is closed.
The module can be used like this:
```
{
services.xserver.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.lockerCommand = "i3lock";
}
```
Because it improves out-of-the-box user experience a lot (IMHO).
(zsh completion is already on by default.)
Remove "programs.bash.enableCompletion = true" from
nixos-generate-config.pl, which feels superflous now.
Expose the path to a lesskey file as a module option. This makes it
possible to maintain a single lesskey file, used for both NixOS and
non-nix systems. An example of how this can be done follows.
1. Write a derivation that fetches lesskey from a known location:
{ stdenv, fetchgit }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "foo";
src = fetchgit { .. };
phases = [ "unpackPhase" "installPhase" ];
installPhase = "mkdir -p $out && cp $src/lesskey $out/lesskey";
}
2. Set programs.less.configFile to the corresponding path:
programs.less = {
enable = true;
configFile = "${pkgs.foo}/lesskey";
};
This patch is heavily inspired by bd0d8ed807 which added
a setcap wrapper for `mtr` in order to allow running `mtr` without
`sudo`. The need for the capability `cap_net_raw` that can be registered using
`setcap` has been documented in the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Capabilities#iftop
A simple testcase has been added which starts two machines, one with a
setcap wrapper for `iftop`, one without. Both testcases monitor the
bandwidth usage of the machine using the options `-t -s 1` once, the
machine with setcap wrapper is expected to succeed, the `iftop` on the
machine without setcap wrapper is expected to return a non-zero exit
code.

The default cache directory set by oh-my-zsh is $ohMyZsh/cache which
lives in the Nix store in our case. This causes issues with several
completion plugins provided by oh-my-zsh.
sg and newgrp only changes the current user session and should be
available to users even if the "users.mutableUsers" option is set.
These are common, useful commands.
chfn does modify the /etc/passwd GECOS field which is also controlled
by the option "users.users.<name?>.description", so it's less
appropriate to make it available when "users.mutableUsers" is set.
However, because CHFN_RESTRICT in login.defs is never set in current
NixOS the chfn functionality is never available to users anyway and
may as well have its SUID disabled, as only root is able to use it.
This is recommended in the chfn man page in this case.
To make the configuration of `yabar` more pleasant and easier to
validate, a NixOS module will be quite helpful.
An example config could look like this:
```
{
programs.yabar = {
enable = true;
bars.top.indicators.exec = "YA_DATE";
};
}
```
The module adds a user-controlled systemd service which runs `yabar` after
starting up X.
