I am trying to set my Centos 6 VPS to GMT timezone.

I tried a sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime

Which works fine.

However when I run date it returns:

Tue Oct 4 05:09:32 GMT 2016

Which indicates there is something that is much more of a problem.

Googling GMT time returns 16:57...

How come this is happening?

This was fixed by contacting my host and asking them to fix and set the clock time on their node.

If your on a dedicated server you can do this yourself by issuing:

# date -s "4 OCT 2016 18:00:00"

as root
