nss-mdns: nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) 
nss-mdns: functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name 
nss-mdns: resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, 
nss-mdns: aka Apple Bonjour), effectively allowing name resolution by common 
nss-mdns: Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.

nss-mdns: nss-mdns provides client functionality only, which means that you 
nss-mdns: have to run a mDNS responder daemon seperately from nss-mdns if you 
nss-mdns: want to register the local host name via mDNS. I recommend Avahi.
