<sect2><title>Configuring Glibc</title>

<para>

We need to create the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Although glibc should provide
|
|
defaults when this file is missing or corrupt, it's defaults don't work work
|
|
well with networking which will be dealt with in a later chapter. Also, our
|
|
timezone needs to be setup.

Create a new file <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> by running the
|
|
following:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<userinput>cat > /etc/nsswitch.conf << "EOF"</userinput>

# Begin /etc/nsswitch.conf

Run the <userinput>tzselect</userinput> script and answer the questions
|
|
regarding your timezone. When you're done, the script will give you the
|
|
location of the timezone file you need.

<para>
|

Create the <filename class="directory">/etc/localtime</filename> symlink
|
|
by running:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<userinput>cd /etc &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>rm localtime &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/<tzselect's output>
|
|
localtime</userinput>
|
|
|
|
</literallayout></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
tzselect's output can be something like <emphasis>EST5EDT</emphasis> or
|
|
<emphasis>Canada/Eastern</emphasis>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
The symlink you would create with that information would be:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<userinput>ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT localtime</userinput>
|
|
|
|
</literallayout></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Or:
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
|
|
<userinput>ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Eastern localtime
|
|
</userinput>
|
