Summary: nss-mdns provides host name resolution via Multicast DNS
Description:
nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka Apple Bonjour), effectively allowing name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local. nss-mdns provides client functionality only, which means that you have to run a mDNS responder daemon seperately from nss-mdns if you want to register the local host name via mDNS. It is necessary to change "hosts" in /etc/nsswitch.conf to hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
