+cat << EOF
+nss-myhostname is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality 
+of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name resolution for the locally 
+configured system hostname as returned by gethostname(2). A lot of software 
+relies on that the local host name is resolvable via DNS to an IPv4 or IPv6 
+address. When using dynamic hostnames this is usually achieved by patching 
+/etc/hosts which however is suboptimal since it requires a writable /etc file 
+system and is fragile because the file might also be edited by the 
+administrator. nss-myhostname simply returns the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2 
+(wich is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 
+(which is the local host) for whatever system hostname is configured locally. 
+Patching /etc/hostname is thus no longer necessary.

+printf "${PROBLEM_COLOR}
+Note: 
+
+You will need to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and make this line;
+
+hosts:      files nisplus nis dns
+
+look like this;
+
+hosts:      files nisplus nis dns myhostname
+
+To test, run; getent ahosts `hostname`
+
