| PackageDescription | This package contains systemd-homed.service, a system service that manages home
directories of users. The home directories managed are self-contained, and thus
include the user's full metadata record in the home's data storage itself,
making them easy to migrate between machines; the user account and home
directory becoming the same concept.
This package also includes homectl(1), a tool to interact with systemd-homed and
PAM module to automatically mount home directories on user login.
See homectl(1) man page for instructions to create a new user account.
A description of the various storage mechanisms implemented by systemd-homed can
be found at https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/.
Note that nss-systemd has still not been integrated into nsswitch and therefore
needs to be added manually into /etc/nsswitch.conf, see nss-systemd(8) man page
for an example on how to do that. |
