The RA's Retransmission Timer field was being ignored. This resolves the IPv6
Core Conformance test, v6LC.2.1.5 [1].
Retransmission Timer is a 32-bit unsigned integer. The time, in milliseconds,
between retransmitted Neighbor Solicitation messages. Used by the Address
Resolution and Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD) algorithm.
Support setting a default value for the neighbour retransmission timer value with:
[Network]
IPv6RetransmissionTimeSec=<int>
By default, upon receiving a Router Advertisement with the Retransmission Timer
field set to a non-zero value, it will update the kernel's retransmit timer value.
To disable this behaviour, configure the UseIPv6RetransmissionTime= under the
[IPv6AcceptRA] section.
[IPv6AcceptRA]
UseIPv6RetransmissionTime=<bool>
RFC4861: Neighbor Discovery in IPv6
* Section 4.2 RA Message Format.
* Section 6.3.4 Processing Received Router Advertisements
A Router Advertisement field (e.g., Cur Hop Limit, Reachable Time,
and Retrans Timer) may contain a value denoting that it is
unspecified. In such cases, the parameter should be ignored and the
host should continue using whatever value it is already using. In
particular, a host MUST NOT interpret the unspecified value as
meaning change back to the default value that was in use before the
first Router Advertisement was received.
The RetransTimer variable SHOULD be copied from the Retrans Timer
field, if the received value is non-zero.

Previously, path units would remain in the running state while their
target unit is deactivating. This left a window of time where the target
unit is no longer operational (i.e. it is busy deactivating/cleaning
up/etc) but the path unit would continue to ignore inotify events. In
short: any inotify event that occurs while the target unit deactivates
would be completely lost.
With this commit, the path will go back into a waiting state when the
target unit starts deactivating. This means that any inotify event that
occurs while the target unit deactivates will queue a start job.
With newer versions of AppArmor, unprivileged user namespace creation
may be restricted by default, in which case user manager instances will
not be able to apply PrivateUsers=yes (or the settings which require it).
This can be tested with the kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns
sysctl.
Arch finally made dbus-broker the default dbus daemon [0], but unlike
Fedora they don't use Alias=dbus.service to make the dbus.symlink under
/etc, instead they create the symlink manually under /usr/lib, so let's
account for that.

Introduce a _very_ simple DNS server using our internal DNS-related
code, that responds to queries with specifically crafted packets, to
cover scenarios that are difficult to reproduce with well-behaving DNS
servers.
Also, hide the test DNS server behind Knot using the dnsproxy module, so
we don't have to switch DNS servers during tests.
We want to retain *some* of the full paths in order to test more code paths.
But the default should be to use the command name only. This makes the tests
less visually cluttered.
The test cases will call quite a lot of "systemctl stop
systemd-hostnamed", hence let's make sure we reset the start limit
counter each time, to not make this eventually fail.
(At other places we disabled the start limit counter, but here I opted
for resetting it manually via 'systemctl reset-failed', to test another
facet of the mechanism)
This uses openssh 9.4's -W support for AF_UNIX. Unfortunately older versions
don't work with this, and I couldn#t figure a way that would work for
older versions too, would not be racy and where we'd still could keep
track of the forked off ssh process.
Unfortunately, on older versions -W will just hang (because it tries to
resolve the AF_UNIX path as regular host name), which sucks, but hopefully this
issue will go away sooner or later on its own, as distributions update.
Fedora is still stuck at 9.3 at the time of posting this (even on
Fedora), even though 9.4, 9.5, 9.6 have all already been released by
now.
Example:
varlinkctl call -j ssh:root@somehost:/run/systemd/io.systemd.Credentials io.systemd.Credentials.Encrypt '{"text":"foobar"}'
To me this is the last major basic functionality that couldn't be
configured via credentials: the network.
We do not invent any new format for this, but simply copy relevant creds
1:1 into /run/systemd/network/ to open up the full functionality of
networkd to VM hosts.
Properly skip over dropped partitions and make sure they don't affect
the final graphical output (for example by leaving empty "spaces" where
their definition file name would otherwise be).
Resolves: #30742
