<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
- container 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.</para>
-
- <para>The module also resolves user IDs used by containers to user
- names indicating the container name, and back.</para>
-
- <para>To activate the NSS modules, <literal>mymachines</literal>

+ <option>--private-network</option> in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ Note that the name that is resolved is the one registered with <command>systemd-machined</command>, which
+ may be different than the hostname configured inside of the container.</para>
+
+ <para>The module also provides name resolution for user and group identifiers mapped to containers. All names from

+ <literal>vu-<replaceable>container</replaceable>-<replaceable>uid</replaceable></literal> and
+ <literal>vg-<replaceable>container</replaceable>-<replaceable>gid</replaceable></literal> (see example below). This
+ functionality only applies to containers using user namespacing (see the description of
