[TriLUG] date/time question

[Janyne Kizer]

Ah, /etc/localtime was 0 bytes.  It as linked to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York (also 0 bytes).  I copied the
New_York file to the server that was saying UTC.  That worked but then I
rebooted to see if another setting would "take" and when the server came
back up, New_York was 0 bytes again.  I think that this has something to
do with either NTP "eating" this information or the graphical interface
(system -> date/time?).  This brings up my next question, the RH docs
say to use System -> Date/Time Properties to enable NTP.  How can I do
this via the command line?
