So when you try to `systemctl start`, it uses a virtual unit that just runs "/etc/init.d/xl2tpd start". > *I have questions:* > > 1. What is "nss-myhostname" or "nss-hostname"? > It is a glibc module. Glibc uses nss modules for resolving various kinds of names (user names to UIDs, host names to IP addresses, etc), for example, libnss_dns is used for DNS lookups, and libnss_files is used for /etc/hosts & /etc/passwd & /etc/group. Similarly, libnss_myhostname is a very simple module that only translates "localhost" & the machine's own hostname to 127.0.0.1 & [::1]. Some programs require that the computer's hostname can be resolved to an IP address, so people used to have things like "127.0.0.1 myComputer localhost" in /etc/hosts. But it's easy to forget to update this file, so nss-myhostname was created to make it work automatically. > 2. *How to install* "nss-hostname"? > On Debian, it's the "libnss-myhostname" package.
