- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><command>nss-mymachines</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
- the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing hostname resolution for the names of containers running
- locally that are registered with
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
- container names are resolved to the IP addresses of the specific container, ordered by their scope. This
- functionality only applies to containers using network namespacing.</para>
-
- <para>The module also resolves user and group IDs used by containers to user and group names indicating the
- container name, and back. This functionality only applies to containers using user namespacing.</para>
-
- <para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>mymachines</literal> to the lines starting with
- <literal>hosts:</literal>, <literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in
- <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
-
- <para>It is recommended to place <literal>mymachines</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or
- <literal>compat</literal> entry of the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> lines to make sure that its mappings
- are preferred over other resolvers such as DNS, but so that <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>,
- <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename> based mappings take precedence.</para>
