Initial release.</p> - -<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2> - -<p><tt>nss-myhostname</tt> is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch -(NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (<tt>glibc</tt>) providing -host name resolution for the locally configured system hostname as -returned by <tt>gethostname(2)</tt>. Various software relies on an -always resolvable local host name. When using dynamic hostnames this -is usually achieved by patching <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> at the same time -as changing the host name. This however is not ideal since it requires -a writable <tt>/etc</tt> file system and is fragile because the file -might be edited by the administrator at the same -time. <tt>nss-myhostname</tt> simply returns all locally configure -public IP addresses, or -- if none are configured -- the IPv4 -address <tt>127.0.0.2</tt> (wich is on the local loopback) and the -IPv6 address <tt>::1</tt> (which is the local host) for whatever -system hostname is configured locally. Patching <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> -is thus no longer necessary.</p> - -<h2><a name="status">Current Status</a></h2> - -<p>It works!</p> - -<h2><a name="documentation">Documentation</a></h2> - -<p>After compiling and installing <tt>nss-myhostname</tt> you'll find a -new NSS modules in <tt>/lib</tt>:</p> -<ul> -<li><tt>libnss_myhostname.so.2</tt></li> -</ul> - -<p>To activate the NSS modules you have to edit -<tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> and add <tt>myhostname</tt> to the -line starting with "<tt>hosts:</tt>". On Debian this looks like -this:</p> - -<pre># /etc/nsswitch.conf - -passwd: compat -group: compat -shadow: compat - -hosts: files dns <b>myhostname</b> -networks: files - -protocols: db files -services: db files -ethers: db files -rpc: db files - -netgroup: nis</pre> - -<p>That's it. You should now always be able to resolve your local -system hostname. For a quick check -use <tt>glibc</tt>'s <tt>getent</tt> tool: - -<pre>$ 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 -</pre> - -<p>In this case the local host name is <i>omega</i>.</p> - -<p>It is recommended to put <tt>myhostname</tt> last in -the <tt>nsswitch.conf</tt> line to make sure that this mapping is only -used as fallback, and any DNS or <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> based mapping takes -precedence.</p> - -<h2><a name="requirements">Requirements</a></h2> - -<p><tt>nss-myhostname</tt> uses NSS interfaces that are specific to modern <tt>glibc</tt>'s.</p> - -<p><tt>nss-myhostname</tt> was developed and tested on Fedora 15 from -May 2011, it should work on most other Linux distributions since it -uses GNU autoconf and GNU libtool for source code configuration and -shared library management.</p> - -<h2><a name="installation">Installation</a></h2> - -<p>As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run -<tt>./configure</tt> inside the distribution directory for configuring -the source tree.
