So far we recommended placing "nss-mymachines" after "nss-resolve" in the order of preference in /etc/nsswitch.conf. This change reverse this order. Rationale: single-label names are resolved via LLMNR by resolved, which has to time out if no peer by that name exists. By placing "nss-mymachines" first (which always responds immediately) we avoid running into this timeout for most containers. Both modules should return the same data if LLMNR is used by the container anyway. While we are at it, improve the man pages of the three NSS modules in other ways a bit.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>nss-mymachines</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
|
|
the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing hostname resolution for the names of containers running
|
|
locally that are registered with
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
|
|
container names are resolved to the IP addresses of the specific container, ordered by their scope. This
|
|
functionality only applies to containers using network namespacing.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The module also resolves user and group IDs used by containers to user and group names indicating the
|
|
container name, and back. This functionality only applies to containers using user namespacing.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>mymachines</literal> to the lines starting with
|
|
<literal>hosts:</literal>, <literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in
|
|
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>mymachines</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or
|
|
<literal>compat</literal> entry of the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> lines to make sure that its mappings
|
|
are preferred over other resolvers such as DNS, but so that <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>,
|
|
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename> based mappings take precedence.</para>
