I got told that although /etc/sysconfig/clock is not used by RHEL, there may be legacy applications depending on this one, notably tomcat - http://grokbase.com/t/tomcat/users/051m0s38p2/how-to-change-the-timezone-for-tomcat#20050120zlgufj6cgdsma7i2olrgcpwia4 - although on my RHEL/Tomcat hosts /etc/localtime seems to be respected. If the file has to exist for backward-compatibility with legacy apps, I suggest to at least add a comment of explanation in the file. Thanks for report, basesystem is definitely wrong, use distribution component when you are not sure what is responsible for this. In that case, AFAIK anaconda is creating the file, reassigning there. This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Thanks for the bug report. We have removed writing out this file from later versions of anaconda, so this will be fixed in RHEL-7. See bug 859217. If you require this fix in an update release of RHEL-6, please go through your support representation who will raise the issue for planning purposes. Thanks again. |
