<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>
</refsect1>

<title>Example</title>
<para>Here is an example <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file that enables
<command>nss-mymachines</command> correctly:</para>
<programlisting>passwd: compat <command>mymachines</command> systemd
group: compat <command>mymachines</command> systemd
shadow: compat
hosts: files <command>mymachines</command> resolve myhostname
networks: files
protocols: db files
