centos 6.8 - time - digital ocean..

Hey guys.

I know most of the questions are fed based.. but I've got a centos 6.8
from digital ocean testing..

So, bear with me..

In setting up the instance to use EST I did the following steps. Is
there anything else I missed...

  Change the date/time (as root)
  rm -rf /etc/localtime
  ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime


  ##--set the date to the correct date
  date -s 'actual/current date'

  vi /etc/sysconfig/clock

  ZONE="America/New_York"
  UTC=false
  ARC=false

  I then rebooted, checked that the date cmd displayed the correct date...


I'm asking ,as I created a base instance of a Centos 6.8 image..

Digitalocean allows for the generation of "snapshots"/copies. The
copies can then be used to generate a clone of the initial
instance/droplet.

I did all of that, and lo/behold, when I run the date cmd..

I get
# date
Sat Nov 19 21:45:43 EST 2016 <<< (note the 5 hr ahead diff.. which if
i recall is the UTC time)

Instead of
# date
Sat Nov 19 16:45:43 EST 2016


Thanks for the sanity check!
