<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>. A lot of software relies on that the
local host name is resolvable via DNS to an IPv4 or IPv6 address. When
using dynamic hostnames this is usually achieved by
patching <tt>/etc/hosts</tt> which however is suboptimal since it
requires a writable <tt>/etc</tt> file system and is fragile because
the file might also be edited by the
administrator. <tt>nss-myhostname</tt> simply returns the IPv4
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/hostname</tt> is thus no longer necessary.</p>
