That has been the wrong way to do it on RH systems for years, it changed
on some release of RHL.
/etc/localtime should be a file, not a symlink.
09:46 [summer@numbat ~]$ ls -l /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 440 Jun 15 2007 /etc/localtime
09:51 [summer@numbat ~]$
The correct manual way is to
mv -fb /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime.
That covers the case where localtime is required before /usr is available.
It's nothing to do with crond though.
