Here is an example of changing the timezone: (Logged in as root)

In order to manually change the timezone, you can edit the/etc/sysconfig/clockfile and then make a new soft link to/etc/localtime. here is an example of changing the timezone manually to "America/Denver ":

1. Select the appropriate time zone from the/usr/share/zoneinfo directory. Time zone names are relative to that directory. In this case, we will select "America/Denver"

2. Edit the/etc/sysconfig/clocktext file so that it looks like this:

ZONE = "America/Denver"

UTC = true

ARC = false

Of course, this assumes that your hardware clock is running UTC time...

3. Delete the following file:/etc/localtime (backup it when you need it !)

4. Create a new soft link for/etc/localtime. Here is an example of step 3 and step 4:

# Cd/etc

# Ls-al localtime

Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 39 Mar 28 07:00 localtime->/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles

# Rm/etc/localtime

# Ln-s/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver/etc/localtime

# Ls-al localtime

Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 34 Mar 28 08:59 localtime->/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver

# Date
