> I can't reboot a server to set the hardware clock to UTC time, but CentOS was installed with the assumption that the PC was running UTC.
> Is it possible to update the hardware clock to the right time and therefore allow CentOS to maintain the right time without rebooting? I am hoping to use this route for consistency versus changing how CentOS interprets the time so all servers are the same.
