+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>nss-myhostname</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
+ the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), primarily providing hostname resolution for the locally configured
+ system hostname as returned by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>gethostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The precise
+ hostnames resolved by this module are:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>The local, configured hostname is resolved to
+ all locally configured IP addresses ordered by their scope, or
+ — if none are configured — the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2 (which
+ is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the
+ local host).</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The hostnames <literal>localhost</literal> and
+ <literal>localhost.localdomain</literal> (as well as any hostname
+ ending in <literal>.localhost</literal> or <literal>.localhost.localdomain</literal>)
+ are resolved to the IP addresses 127.0.0.1 and ::1.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The hostname <literal>gateway</literal> is
+ resolved to all current default routing gateway addresses,
+ ordered by their metric. This assigns a stable hostname to the
+ current gateway, useful for referencing it independently of the
+ current network configuration state.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>Various software relies on an always-resolvable local
+ hostname. When using dynamic hostnames, this is traditionally
+ achieved by patching <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> at the same
+ time as changing the hostname. This is problematic since it
+ requires a writable <filename>/etc</filename> file system and is
+ fragile because the file might be edited by the administrator at
+ the same time. With <command>nss-myhostname</command> enabled,
+ changing <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> is unnecessary, and on
+ many systems, the file becomes entirely optional.</para>
+
+ <para>To activate the NSS modules, add <literal>myhostname</literal> to the line starting with
+ <literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to place <literal>myhostname</literal> last in the <filename>nsswitch.conf</filename>'
+ <literal>hosts:</literal> line to make sure that this mapping is only used as fallback, and that any DNS or
+ <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> based mapping takes precedence.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Example</title>
+
+ <para>Here is an example <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file that enables
+ <command>nss-myhostname</command> correctly:</para>
+
+<programlisting>passwd: compat mymachines
+group: compat mymachines
+shadow: compat
+
+hosts: files mymachines resolve <command>myhostname</command>
+networks: files
+
+protocols: db files
+services: db files
+ethers: db files
+rpc: db files
+
+netgroup: nis</programlisting>
+
+ <para>To test, use <command>glibc</command>'s <command>getent</command> tool:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>$ getent ahosts `hostname`
+::1 STREAM omega
+::1 DGRAM
+::1 RAW
+127.0.0.2 STREAM
+127.0.0.2 DGRAM
+127.0.0.2 RAW</programlisting>
+
+ <para>In this case, the local hostname is <varname>omega</varname>.</para>
