Description

Per-user host name resolution lets Linux look up host entries from a user-specific hosts file. It is useful for development, testing, and workflows where each account needs different local host aliases.

This is an NSS module, not a DNS server. Misconfigured host mappings can redirect traffic unexpectedly, so users should review entries before relying on them for sensitive services.
