48 | <para><command>nss-resolve</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the |
49 | GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) enabling it to resolve host names via the | |
50 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> local network | |
51 | name resolution service. It replaces the <command>nss-dns</command> plug-in module that traditionally resolves | |
52 | hostnames via DNS.</para> | |
53 | ||
54 | <para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>resolve</literal> to the line starting with | |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
55 | <literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>. Specifically, it is recommended to place |
56 | <literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'s <literal>hosts:</literal> line (but | |
640be880 LP |
57 | after the <literal>files</literal> or <literal>mymachines</literal> entries), right before the |
58 | <literal>dns</literal> entry if it exists, followed by <literal>[!UNAVAIL=return]</literal>, to ensure DNS queries | |
59 | are always routed via | |
60 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> if it is | |
61 | running, but are routed to <command>nss-dns</command> if this service is not available.</para> | |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
62 | |
63 | <para>Note that <command>systemd-resolved</command> will synthesize DNS resource | |
25fb19da | 64 | records in a few cases, for example for <literal>localhost</literal> and the |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
65 | current hostname, see |
66 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
67 | for the full list. This duplicates the functionality of | |
68 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-myhostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, | |
69 | but it is still recommended (see examples below) to keep | |
70 | <command>nss-myhostname</command> configured in | |
71 | <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>, to keep those names resolveable if | |
72 | <command>systemd-resolved</command> is not running.</para> | |
