    Instead of replacing the /etc/localtime file, rename this file to *.old (or
    delete it if you really want) and create a symlink to the appropriate file
    in /usr/share/zoneinfo. For example:

      ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

    HTH!

    Hi,

    I need to change the timezone on a server.

    Is all I need to do is copy the appropriate file from
    /usr/share/zoneinfo over the top of /etc/localtime and reboot?
