Ok, I know this should be dead simple but I just can't get the darn timezone and time correct on a new RHEL3 server i've just installed. I want it set for timezone GMT and the current GMT time. I can set the time no problem and i've manually edited the /etc/sysconfig/clock to have ZONE="GMT" UTC=true ARC=false I want both the system clock and hwclock to use UTC (or GMT) as the zone. using redhat-config-time doesn't give me an option for GMT or UTC. This is driving me nuts! so I moved /etc/localtime to /etc/localtime~ then set up a softlink to ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime then rebooted and everything once again appears correct in the world again. The question now is, is this the correct way to fix the problem? Will this create any more problems? why isn't there a tool that will do this? I mean what's the point of redhat-config-date if it doesn't allow you to set things the way you want? GMT isn't even an available timezone in that tool. does /etc/sysconfig/clock do anything anymore?
