[systemd-devel] getent hosts <machine>

[Johannes Ernst]

I was hoping that
	getent hosts <containername>
would work, just like
	getent hosts <hostname>
where <hostname> can be anything else in the hosts: field in nsswitch.conf. But no such luck.

The <containername> does get resolved correctly in other cases, e.g. when pinging it.

Not knowing how getent actually works, I don’t know why that is, but I figured I mention it.

Cheers,



Johannes.
