Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<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>. Specifically, it is recommended to place
|
|
<literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'s <literal>hosts:</literal> line (but
|
|
after the <literal>files</literal> or <literal>mymachines</literal> entries), right before the
|
|
<literal>dns</literal> entry if it exists, followed by <literal>[!UNAVAIL=return]</literal>, to ensure DNS queries
|
|
are always routed via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> if it is
|
|
running, but are routed to <command>nss-dns</command> if this service 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 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>
