[systemd-devel] systemd in initramfs: /etc/passwd, /etc/group, emergency.service and sulogin

[Ivan Shapovalov]

Hi,

A few questions regarding usage of systemd+udev in initramfs. Before all,
this is what I want to achieve (to prevent XY-problems): working
emergency.service in initramfs.

The questions are a bit Arch-specific and possibly lame, but well...

- is /etc/passwd still[1] needed in initramfs due to libdbus1?
- how to pass '--resolve-names=never' to udevd in initramfs, will it work this
  way and will it allow to exclude /etc/group[2] from initramfs?
- is it possible to use 'sulogin -e' instead of 'sulogin'[3] security-wise?
