{AJ} NSS (for details just type `info libc "Name Service Switch"')
|
||||
won't work properly without shared libraries. NSS allows using
|
||||
different services (e.g. NIS, files, db, hesiod) by just changing one
|
||||
configuration file (/etc/nsswitch.conf) without relinking any
|
||||
programs. The only disadvantage is that now static libraries need to
|
||||
access shared libraries. This is handled transparently by the GNU C
|
||||
library.
|
||||
|
||||
A solution is to configure glibc with --enable-static-nss. In this
|
||||
case you can create a static binary that will use only the services
|
||||
dns and files (change /etc/nsswitch.conf for this). You need
|
||||
to link explicitly against all these services. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
gcc -static test-netdb.c -o test-netdb.c \
|
||||
-lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv
|
||||
|
||||
The problem with this approach is that you've got to link every static
|
||||
program that uses NSS routines with all those libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
{UD} In fact, one cannot say anymore that a libc compiled with this
|
||||
option is using NSS. There is no switch anymore. Therefore it is
|
||||
*highly* recommended *not* to use --enable-static-nss since this makes
|
||||
the behaviour of the programs on the system inconsistent.

|

snapshot, according to Philip Blundell <Philip.Blundell@pobox.com>, the

4.3. When I set the timezone I'm by setting the TZ environment variable
|
||||
to EST5EDT things go wrong since glibc computes the wrong time
|
||||
from this information.
|
||||
|
||||
{UD} The problem is that people still use the braindamaged POSIX
|
||||
method to select the timezone using the TZ environment variable with a
|
||||
format EST5EDT or whatever. People, read the POSIX standard, the
|
||||
implemented behaviour is correct! What you see is in fact the result
|
||||
of the decisions made while POSIX.1 was created. We've only
|
||||
implemented the handling of TZ this way to be POSIX compliant. It is
|
||||
not really meant to be used.
|
||||
|
||||
The alternative approach to handle timezones which is implemented is
|
||||
the correct one to use: use the timezone database. This avoids all
|
||||
the problems the POSIX method has plus it is much easier to use.
|
||||
Simply run the tzselect shell script, answer the question and use the
|
||||
name printed in the end by making a symlink to
|
||||
/usr/share/zoneinfo/NAME (NAME is the returned value from tzselect)
|
||||
from the file /etc/localtime. That's all. You never again have to
|
||||
worry.
|
||||
|
||||
So, please avoid sending bug reports about time related problems if
|
||||
you use the POSIX method and you have not verified something is really
|
||||
broken by reading the POSIX standards.
