Multidoge not syncing on new Ubuntu #50

With new Ubuntu (since 16.04 ??) Multidoge just keeps "Connecting" and not going "Online". Peers cannot be discovered.

As workaround, I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 in VM, copied my MultiDoge directory and started Multidoge (0.1.7) in VM. It went immediately online.

Looks like it is related to new DNS handling with systemd and new config files. To make Multidoge work again, I had to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns to hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal[NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]

After that, it goes online.
