-nss-myhostname is a GNU libc NSS module that statically translates the
-local host name to the IP address 127.0.0.2 (which is on the loopback
-device) and vice versa.
+systemd System and Service Manager
 
-This is useful to make sure that the local host name is always
-resolvable. Some programs (such as sudo) require this functionality. 
+DETAILS:
+        http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html
 
-Especially on embedded systems it may not be desirable to modify
-/etc/hosts to match the current host name. 
+WEB SITE:
+        http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd
 
-It is a good idea to put this module as last resort in
-/etc/nsswitch.conf, to make sure that other name service take
-precedence.

+
+REQUIREMENTS:
+        Linux kernel >= 2.6.39
+                with devtmpfs
+                with cgroups (but it's OK to disable all controllers)
+                optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6
+        dbus >= 1.4.0
+        libcap
+        libblkid >= 2.20 (from util-linux) (optional)
+        libkmod >= 5 (optional)
+        PAM >= 1.1.2 (optional)
+        libcryptsetup (optional)
+        libaudit (optional)
+        libacl (optional)
+        libattr (optional)
+        libselinux (optional)
+        liblzma (optional)
+        tcpwrappers (optional)
+        libgcrypt (optional)
+        libqrencode (optional)
+        libmicrohttpd (optional)
+        libpython (optional)
+        make, gcc, and similar tools
+
+        During runtime you need the following additional dependencies:
+
+        util-linux >= v2.19 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s)
+        sulogin (from util-linux >= 2.22 or sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended)
+        dracut (optional)
+
+        When building from git you need the following additional dependencies:
+
+        docbook-xsl
+        xsltproc
+        automake
+        autoconf
+        libtool
+        intltool
+        gperf
+        gtkdocize (optional)
+        python (optional)
+
+        When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to
+        install nss-myhostname to ensure that in a world of
+        dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolvable
+        under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn
+        if nss-myhostname is not installed.
+
+        Note that D-Bus can link against libsystemd-login.so, which
+        results in a cyclic build dependency. To accommodate for this
+        please build D-Bus without systemd first, then build systemd,
+        then rebuild D-Bus with systemd support.
+
+WARNINGS:
+        systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
+        symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
+        proper symlink.
+
+        systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different
+        file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will
+        break if /usr is on a separate partition many of its
+        dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one
+        form or another. For example udev rules tend to refer to
+        binaries in /usr, binaries that link to libraries in /usr or
+        binaries that refer to data files in /usr. Since these
+        breakages are not always directly visible systemd will warn
+        about this, since this kind of file system setup is not really
+        supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components.
+
+        For more information on this issue consult
+        http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken
+
+        To run systemd under valgrind, compile with VALGRIND defined
+        (e.g. ./configure CPPFLAGS='... -DVALGRIND=1'). Otherwise,
+        false positives will be triggered by code which violates
+        some rules but is actually safe.
