Some magic needed yes, see the manuals of authselect and
authselect-profiles, but before creating a custom profile, check if
some feature of the local profile solves your problem.
See: authselect show local
The default (on my machine installed in F42) is:
authselect current
Profile ID: local
Enabled features:
- with-silent-lastlog
- with-fingerprint
- with-mdns4
resulting in that for hosts in nsswitch.conf:
grep hosts /etc/authselect/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve
[!UNAVAIL=return] dns
