<title>Description</title>
<para><command>nss-mymachines</command> is a plugin
for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) providing
hostname resolution for containers running locally,
that are registered with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
container names are resolved to IP addresses of the
specific container, ordered by their scope.</para>
<para>To activate the NSS modules,
<literal>mymachines</literal> has to be added to the
line starting with <literal>hosts:</literal> in
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
<para>It is recommended to place
<literal>mymachines</literal> near the end of the
<filename>nsswitch.conf</filename> line to make sure
that this mapping is only used as fallback, and any
DNS or <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> based mapping
takes precedence.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Example</title>
<para>Here's an example
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file, that
enables <command>mymachines</command>
correctly:</para>
