2016-07-22nss: add new "nss-systemd" NSS module for mapping dynamic usersLennart Poettering
With this NSS module all dynamic service users will be resolvable via NSS like any real user.
2016-02-23man: change recommended order of NSS modules in /etc/nsswitch.confLennart Poettering
So far we recommended placing "nss-mymachines" after "nss-resolve" in the order of preference in /etc/nsswitch.conf. This change reverse this order. Rationale: single-label names are resolved via LLMNR by resolved, which has to time out if no peer by that name exists. By placing "nss-mymachines" first (which always responds immediately) we avoid running into this timeout for most containers. Both modules should return the same data if LLMNR is used by the container anyway. While we are at it, improve the man pages of the three NSS modules in other ways a bit.

2015-09-04man: always use the same example in nss module documentationLennart Poettering
Show the same recommended example file in all three man pages, just highlight the different, relevant parts. This should be less confusing for users, and clarify what we actually recommend how /etc/nsswitch.conf is set up.
