+ SYSTEMD
+
+ More advanced startup systems like systemd1,
+ already have their own plugin-like mechanisms for allowing
+ multiple agents to independently retrieve a password and deliver
+ it to the subsystem requesting a password to unlock the root
+ file system. On these systems, it would make no sense to run
+ plugin-runner8mandos, the plugins of
+ which would largely duplicate the work of (and conflict with)
+ the existing systems prompting for passwords.
+
+
+ As for systemd1 in particular, it has
+ its own Password Agents system. Mandos uses this via its
+ password-agent8mandos program, which
+ is run instead of plugin-runner8mandos when systemd1
+ is used during system startup.
