2.Execute command ‘cd /usr/share/zoneinfo’,then you will find ad list of time zone regions.Choose the right region,if you live in Canada or US,this directory is the “America” directory.
3.Create a symbolic link from the appropiate timezone to /etc/localtime.For example:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Newfoundland /etc/localtime
4.If you have the utility rdate,update the current system time by executing /usr/bin/rdate -s time-a.nist.gov.
5.Set the ZONE entry in the file /etc/sysconfig/clock file (e.g. “America/Los_Angeles”)
