You can do this with timetool (from the control-panel), but the main
thing is to make sure that /etc/sysconfig/clock has the right content.
My RH7 one is
ZONE="America/New_York"
UTC=true
ARC=false
My RH6 one is
ZONE="US/Eastern"
UTC=true
ARC=false
I don't *think* you even need to reboot. Once you've made the changes,
and set the systom clock correctly (so "date" gives the correct local
time), you can change the BIOS clock with "hwclock --systohc --utc".
