Let's replace the "compat" module in our proposed nsswitch.conf configuration with "files", since it is not 1995 anymore. Fedora and other distros have deprecated and removed NIS support a while back. While others still retain some support I am not sure we should advertise it in our examples. Downstream can of course still use "compat" instead of "files" if they want to, but let's not confuse people who don't care about NIS anymore with this. Also, bring the nsswitch.conf snippet in README in line with what our man pages say. Also see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/retire_NIS_user_space_utils

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>nss-resolve</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the
|
||
GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) enabling it to resolve hostnames via the
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> local network
|
||
name resolution service. It replaces the <command>nss-dns</command> plug-in module that traditionally resolves
|
||
hostnames via DNS.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]</literal> to the line starting
|
||
with <literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>. Specifically, it is
|
||
recommended to place <literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'s
|
||
<literal>hosts:</literal> line. It should be before the <literal>files</literal> entry, since
|
||
<filename>systemd-resolved</filename> supports <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> internally, but with
|
||
caching. To the contrary, it should be after <literal>mymachines</literal>, to give hostnames given to
|
||
local VMs and containers precedence over names received over DNS. Finally, we recommend placing
|
||
<literal>dns</literal> somewhere after <literal>resolve</literal>, to fall back to
|
||
<command>nss-dns</command> if <filename>systemd-resolved.service</filename> is not available.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that <command>systemd-resolved</command> will synthesize DNS resource records in a few cases,
|
||
for example for <literal>localhost</literal> and the current local hostname, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
|
||
the full list. This duplicates the functionality of
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-myhostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, but
|
||
it is still recommended (see examples below) to keep <command>nss-myhostname</command> configured in
|
||
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>, to keep those names resolveable if
|
||
<command>systemd-resolved</command> is not running.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Please keep in mind that <command>nss-myhostname</command> (and <command>nss-resolve</command>) also resolve
|
||
in the other direction — from locally attached IP addresses to
|
||
hostnames. If you rely on that lookup being provided by DNS, you might
|
||
want to order things differently.
|
||

|
||
|
||
<para>Communication between <command>nss-resolve</command> and
|
||
<filename>systemd-resolved.service</filename> takes place via the
