list of user accounts that the job needs to run. For instance, the
SSH daemon job says:
{ name = "sshd";
uid = (import ../system/ids.nix).uids.sshd;
description = "SSH privilege separation user";
home = "/var/empty";
}
The activation script creates the system users/groups and updates
them as well. So a change in the Nix expression can be realised in
/etc/{group,passwd} by running nixos-rebuild.

the current configuration from being GC'ed (which was previously
possible if the configuration was activated using "nixos-rebuild
test", or if the configuration's generation symlink had been removed
from the system profile).
This isn't quite right yet due to a layering problem:
activate-configuration.sh doesn't know the top-level store path of
the configuration.
