thanks
I've always removed /etc/localtime and created a symbolic link to the
timezone file of choice.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime
Older versions of RedHat (6.x maybe) used to place a link instead of a
copy of the zoneinfo file when configuring the timezone by default. I
wonder why they changed it to a copy. Only thing I can think of is that
if the timezone directory structure changes during an RPM update your
localtime link will stop working. The disadvantage of the current copy
behavior is that when the zoneinfo gets updated(like the new US Daylight
changes next year) you have to manually go to all the servers and set
the timezone again(manually or through the utility that comes with the
RedHat/CentOS version you are using).
