2 - you can do the symbolic link, but i believe that RH moved away from that approach for some reason. the appropriate TZ file is copied to /etc/localtime when the TZ is selected on install or changed.
is there maybe a command for setting TZ "in a CentOS way"?
I've looked for redhat-* centos-* system-* in /sbin and /usr/sbin

And also, which /etc/localtime do I have now?
Is there a way to find out besides running "diff"?
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.
Actually it is working now, thank you all!
