Fine. Now please tell me how you did it :-)
I told you what I did (following the documentation in "Linux
Installation, Configuration and Use" for Red Hat systems), and that
gives me the wrong UTC time. Here, being a perverse sort of chap, I
define "wrong" as "not right" :-)
[n7dr@localhost n7dr]$ date
Thu May 24 18:29:18 /etc/localtime 2001
[n7dr@localhost n7dr]$ date -u
Thu May 24 18:29:21 UTC 2001
