61 | <para><command>nss-resolve</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the |
62 | GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) enabling it to resolve host names via the | |
63 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> local network | |
64 | name resolution service. It replaces the <command>nss-dns</command> plug-in module that traditionally resolves | |
65 | hostnames via DNS.</para> | |
66 | ||
67 | <para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>resolve</literal> to the line starting with | |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
68 | <literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>. Specifically, it is recommended to place |
69 | <literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'s <literal>hosts:</literal> line (but | |
640be880 LP |
70 | after the <literal>files</literal> or <literal>mymachines</literal> entries), right before the |
71 | <literal>dns</literal> entry if it exists, followed by <literal>[!UNAVAIL=return]</literal>, to ensure DNS queries | |
72 | are always routed via | |
73 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> if it is | |
74 | running, but are routed to <command>nss-dns</command> if this service is not available.</para> | |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
75 | |
76 | <para>Note that <command>systemd-resolved</command> will synthesize DNS resource | |
25fb19da | 77 | records in a few cases, for example for <literal>localhost</literal> and the |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
78 | current hostname, see |
79 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
80 | for the full list. This duplicates the functionality of | |
81 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-myhostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, | |
82 | but it is still recommended (see examples below) to keep | |
83 | <command>nss-myhostname</command> configured in | |
84 | <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>, to keep those names resolveable if | |
85 | <command>systemd-resolved</command> is not running.</para> | |
