Re: [CentOS] CentOS 6: hostname and timezone

Actually I already seem to have the correct timezone file, but why is the time wrong?

Should I:

chkconfig ntp on service ntp start

Or is the reasone elsewhere?

Sorry for the basic questions, I'm new to CentOS 6

ntp will change the time in small increments only. If there's a big gap, and if you can live with a big jump, set the time manually and then enable ntp.

Also check out system-config-date-1.9.60-1.el6.noarch.rpm.
