Timezone rules are defined by the files in /usr/share/zoneinfo.

These files are provided by the tzdata rpm package in Red Hat. The file /etc/localtime (which is your local timezone definition file) is actually just copied from /usr/share/zoneinfo

If you are worried about your clock and such I wouldn't worry about it
as long as your are using NTP if anything would change locally on the

exact.

And this will not help you in any way.  NTP always serves up the time in
UTC.  It's up the client to convert that to a local time.

That said, I can't remember where the files are located that determine
the timezone rules.  I don't know if it's built into glibc or not.
