Technically, yes, you should be able to, although I'd make a backup of your /etc/localtime first and try it. If you get weirdness when executing 'date' afterwards, then chances are it broke something and you need to restore the original.

Let me know if this works and I'll use that method to update the 70 or so machines I need to update -- this is much less painful than installing an RPM on a bunch of boxes.

Ok, that did it. Time for a presentation on cfengine. Create rule, drop .rpm in your repository, an hour later 70 boxes done, and if you don't want to wait on the hourly job, you can manually update everything in less than 5 minutes. What's April's subject? I think a presentation on kickstart, and cfengine, plus custom yum and yum repos is in order.
