Setting The Server Timezone

You can set your server’s timezone by running this command:
sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/YOUR_ZONE_HERE /etc/localtime

Want your server to be updated from network time servers?

sudo su -
yum install ntp
chkconfig --levels 235 ntpd on
ntpdate 0.pool.ntp.org
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
exit

You can change the timeservers by editing /etc/ntp.conf
