# systemd-timesyncd disables DNSSEC validation in the nss-resolve module by setting SYSTEMD_NSS_RESOLVE_VALIDATE to 0 in the unit file.
# This is required in order to solve the chicken-and-egg problem when DNSSEC validation needs the correct time to work, but to set the
# correct time, we need to connect to an NTP server, which usually requires resolving its hostname.
# In order for nss-resolve to be able to read this environment variable we patch systemd-timesyncd to disable NSCD and use NSS modules directly.
# This means that systemd-timesyncd needs to have NSS modules path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. When systemd-resolved is disabled we still need to set
# NSS module path so that systemd-timesyncd keeps using other NSS modules that are configured in the system.
