correct way to set timezone & clock/date?

[Alex Dean]

Try tailing /var/log/messages (you said this was fedora, right?) when  
you start up the ntp daemon.  It can take a while (>1 minute  
sometimes) for the time servers to synchronize, but you should see  
some log activity during that time to show you that it's working.
