This unifies the suggested nsswitch.conf configuration for our four NSS modules to this:
hosts: files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
Note that this restores "myhostname" to the suggested configuration of
nss-resolve for the time being, undoing 4484e1792b.
"myhostname" should probably be dropped eventually, but when we do this we
should do it in full, and not only drop it from the suggested nsswitch.conf
for one of the modules, but also drop it in source and stop referring to it
altogether.
Note that nss-resolve doesn't replace nss-myhostname in full: the former only
works if D-Bus/resolved is available for resolving the local hostname, the
latter works in all cases even if D-Bus or resolved are not in operation, hence
there's some value in keeping the line as it is right now. Note that neither
dns nor myhostname are considered at all with the above configuration unless
the resolve module actually returns UNAVAIL. Thus, even though handling of
local hostname resolving is implemented twice this way it is only executed once
for each lookup.

<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 host names 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</literal> to the line starting with
|
|
<literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'
|
|
<literal>hosts:</literal> line (but after the <literal>files</literal> or <literal>mymachines</literal> entries),
|
|
replacing the <literal>dns</literal> entry if it exists, to ensure DNS queries are always routed via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <command>nss-resolve</command> will chain-load <command>nss-dns</command> if
|
|
<filename>systemd-resolved.service</filename> is not running, ensuring that basic DNS resolution continues to work
|
|
if the service is down.</para>

<title>Example</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Here is an example <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file that enables <command>nss-resolve</command>
|
|
correctly:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>passwd: compat mymachines systemd
|
|
group: compat mymachines systemd
|
|
shadow: compat
|
|
|
|
hosts: files mymachines <command>resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]</command> dns myhostname
|
|
networks: files

protocols: db files

services: db files
|
|
ethers: db files
|
|
rpc: db files
|
|
|
|
netgroup: nis</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>This keeps the <command>dns</command> module as a fallback for cases where the <command>nss-resolve</command>
|
|
module is not installed.</para>
