- The NTP daemon requires the "systemd-timesync" system user and
- group to exist. During execution this network facing service
- will drop privileges (with the exception of CAP_SYS_TIME) and
- assume this uid/gid for security reasons.
+ Similarly, the NTP daemon requires the "systemd-timesync" system
+ user and group to exist.
+
+ Similarly, the network management daemon requires the
+ "systemd-network" system user and group to exist.
+
+ Similarly, the name resolution daemon requires the
+ "systemd-resolve" system user and group to exist.

+ Similarly, the kdbus dbus1 proxy daemon requires the

+NSS:
+ systemd ships with three NSS modules:
+
+ nss-myhostname resolves the local hostname to locally
+ configured IP addresses, as well as "localhost" to
+ 127.0.0.1/::1.
+
+ nss-resolve enables DNS resolution via the systemd-resolved
+ DNS/LLMNR caching stub resolver "systemd-resolved".
+
+ nss-mymachines enables resolution of all local containers
+ registered with machined to their respective IP addresses.
+
+ To make use of these NSS modules, please add them to the
+ "hosts: " line in /etc/nsswitch.conf. The "resolve" module
+ should replace the glibc "dns" module in this file.
+
+ The three modules should be used in the following order:
+
+ hosts: files mymachines resolve myhostname
