How to disable short hostname resolution

Does anyone know how to disable name resolution of short hostnames?  It's recently started happening and it's causing me headaches, and I can't seem to figure out how to turn it off.

The problem is that if I run "ssh otherpc" then what used to happen is a DNS search suffix like ".mydomain" was added, then "otherpc.mydomain" would resolve, and SSH would connect.

Now, "otherpc" on its own resolves to an IP address, SSH doesn't pick up the configuration I have for "*.mydomain" because there's no domain now, so then it can't connect to the machine because it doesn't know which private key to use.

After doing some research I thought this might be LLMNR, so I disabled this in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf, restarted systemd-resolved, but nothing.  I still get short names resolved.  I tried "resolvectl flush-caches" but no luck.

I'm running my own DNS server on the machine and as expected, running "host otherpc localhost" to query the DNS server directly, returns a 'not found' error for the short name so I know it's not my DNS server doing anything funny.

Does anyone know how to stop short hostnames from resolving and go back to the old behaviour of having DNS search suffixes added, so I can go back to using SSH with short hostnames?

Re: How to disable short hostname resolution

Could be NSS (Name Service Switch) related or conflicting resolvers. Both are described on [1] .

post /etc/nsswitch.conf and ls -lR /etc/systemd .



[1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … resolution

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Re: How to disable short hostname resolution

Thanks for the reply!  nsswitch.conf says:

hosts: files mymachines myhostname resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns

Does 'resolve' still call systemd-resolved even if it's not running?  I get the same behaviour after running `systemd stop systemd-resolved`.

Re: How to disable short hostname resolution

https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/ … -resolve.8 indicates if systemd-resolved isn't running it should fallback to nss-dns .

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … resolution looks relevant, but you don't appear to be using avahi .


Maybe try forcing systemd-resolved to use your dns server, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … d#Manually ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
