changed the timezone by copying the correct file to /etc/localtime, however something keeps changing it back. I'm not sure if this is a yum update or what. Without installing the graphical tools, how can I update the timezone in such a way that the /etc/localtime file won't keep getting clobbered.
/usr/bin/system-config-time
(from the system-config-date RPM package)
It will work in text mode.
(Essentially /etc/sysconfig/clock is the config file that also needs updating)

The problem with that tool is that it brings in so many graphical dependencies. It would be better if it was on it's own.

Is /etc/sysconfig/clock really essential? I just have /etc/localtime pointing to the right timezone and never had any problem. I don't even have /etc/sysconfig/clock on my servers.
I was about to install the system-config-date (package that provides system- config-time) in order to see if indeed it creates /etc/sysconfig/clock but yum tells me I need 48 more packages to satisfy dependencies. I said no obviously....
