- This package contains a plugin for the Name Service Switch, providing host
- name resolution for the locally configured system hostname as returned by
- gethostname(2). It simply returns the IPv4 address 127.0.1.1 (which is on the
- local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the local host).
-
- A lot of software relies on that the local host name is resolvable. This
- package provides an alternative to the fragile and error-prone manual editing
- of /etc/hosts."
