Apply a PAM session to run/task/sysv/services Finit starts, pam_limits
above all, so a service running as a given user picks up that user's
limits the way a login does.
Add a new `pam` setting for the new block format (only), like the
per-service directories, naming a file in /etc/pam.d:
service weston {
user = "weston"
pam = "weston-autologin"
command = "/usr/bin/weston --continue-without-input"
}
pam_close_session() has to be called by a process still holding the
handle, and the handle does not survive exec(). Hence the keeper: it
holds the handle, drops to the service's credentials, and waits for a
parent-death signal before closing the session. Same shape as
systemd's (sd-pam), for the same reason, and one per fork, so the
script hooks open and close their own.
The keeper closes the descriptors it inherited from Finit and only
those. Closing everything would also take out what pam_open_session()
opened for itself, a keyring fd or a lock file, and leave the modules
to close a session with those pulled out from under them. Closing
nothing, as (sd-pam) does, would leave it holding the write end of the
notify pipe for the service's whole lifetime and starve notify = "s6"
services of their ready signal. So the fds open before pam_start()
are snapshotted and exactly those are closed, while the ones PAM opens
after are marked close-on-exec so the daemon does not inherit them
either.
A refused value, a denied account stack, an uninstalled pam.d file,
and a build without PAM support all keep the service from starting
rather than running it with the stacks skipped: one that quietly loses
pam_limits and its private /tmp, with nothing said. Capabilities a
module like pam_cap.so granted are merged into the IAB Finit applies
instead of being replaced by it, which only helps a service that also
sets capabilities, the other arm being a plain setuid() with nothing
left to restore once permitted is empty.
The test sysroot gains pam_permit.so, pam_deny.so and pam_limits.so,
which ldd cannot see, libpam dlopen()s them, and the test skips when
the host has none to stage. The negative cases pin the exit status
rather than only asserting crashed, which serv reports for any early
exit, so a bad command or an unwritable pidfile cannot pass for a
rejected session.

The syntax overview no longer describes a line-based format, since that
is not what the rest of the documentation shows. It now covers the
grammar, the two naming conventions, the nine aliases, and the leading
'-' on a path, and it says plainly that both formats are still read and
told apart per file by content. Without that, a reader with an
existing configuration is left wondering what happened to it.
service-opts.md was a list of modifiers to place between a directive
and its command, so it needed rewriting rather than translating: there
are no positions left to describe. It is now grouped by what the
settings do.
conditions.md needed correcting. It presented '!' as a condition
prefix alongside '~'. It is neither a condition nor a negation, it is
a flag on the block that means one thing on a service and another on a
run or task, so it is spelled reload-signal and required here, and the
page maps the old form to both.
Two things the pages claimed are not true. The kill delay range is
1-300, not 1-60, and stop and reload scripts are no longer run without
a timeout.
ChangeLog.md keeps its line-based examples. Those sit in historical
release entries, and rewriting them in a syntax that did not exist at
the time would misdate the format.
