Other Notable Changes
-
The setting
services.openssh.logLevel
"VERBOSE"
"INFO"
. This brings NixOS in line with upstream and other Linux distributions, and reduces log spam on servers due to bruteforcing botnets.However, if
services.fail2ban.enable
istrue
, thefail2ban
will override the verbosity to"VERBOSE"
, so thatfail2ban
can observe the failed login attempts from the SSH logs. -
Sway: The terminal emulator
rxvt-unicode
is no longer installed by default viaprograms.sway.extraPackages
. The current default configuration usesalacritty
(and soonfoot
) so this is only an issue when using a customized configuration and not installingrxvt-unicode
explicitly.
