Since I don't even have that config file I have not pursued solutions
that require it ;)

in that case...

# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
# The ZONE parameter is only evaluated by system-config-date.
# The timezone of the system is defined by the contents
of /etc/localtime.
ZONE="America/Phoenix"
UTC=true
ARC=false
