It was not a copy or a symlink of any of
the files in /usr/share. But I blew it away any way and coped in the UTC file
and thing went fine. Thanks for the help.

Zone
The /etc/localtime file
is the file that defines the timezone. This file can be a copy of the file from
/usr/share/zoneinfo (which in your case it probably is) or a symlink. To change
the timezone all you need to do is copy the correct file from /usr/share/zoneinfo
to /etc/localtime or make /etc/localtime a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo. If
you decide to use a symlink /usr should probably not be a mounted filesystem.

I have an

zone. And, since I don't have a GUI on my box I can not use
system-config-time. So, I was thinking /etc/localtime should be a simlink
to the time zone in /usr/share/zoneinformation rite? I can just change
that with a new symlink, rite? But the file I have in /etc/localtime is a small
binary file and that made me nervous. Then I thought, setup, how much
more basic could I get! But it does not have a time zone option, only
Authentication and System Services.
Any
suggestions?
