3<para>We need to create the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Although glibc should
4provide defaults when this file is missing or corrupt, its defaults don't work
5well with networking which will be dealt with in a later chapter. Also, our
6timezone needs to be set up.</para>

8<para>Create a new file <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> by running the
9following:</para>

33<para>The <userinput>tzselect</userinput> script has to be run and the
34questions regarding your timezone have to be answered.
35When you're done, the script will give the
36location of the needed timezone file.</para>
37
38<para> Create the <filename class="directory">/etc/localtime</filename> symlink
39by running:</para>

41<para><screen><userinput>ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/&lt;tzselect's output&gt; /etc/localtime</userinput></screen></para>
42
43<para>tzselect's output can be something like <emphasis>EST5EDT</emphasis> or
44<emphasis>Canada/Eastern</emphasis>.</para>
45
46<para>The symlink you'd create with that information would be:</para>
47
48<para><screen><userinput>ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime</userinput></screen></para>
