Hi all,

today I faced a strange problem on my BeagleBone:
> # ping localhost
> ping: bad address 'localhost'
After some trying and googling I found that the missing nsswitch.conf
caused this problem.

I am using toolchain Linard 2012_09, which obviously needs this file and
does not provide a useful default.

I do not know if nsswitch.conf is used/needed by all c-libraries, but I
think adding it to the skeleton should not do any harm.

Patch follows.

Kind regards

Stephan
