The tzdata-update Jakub refers to is run as part of the glibc post-install
script.  It doesn't matter what you use to install it (RPM, yum, up2date,
whatever).  Since the FC4 glibc doesn't have the tzdata-update you need to
do something else to update /etc/localtime.  Perhaps this page about RHEL
will help:

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_79_9950

There is a section that discusses what to do if you don't have
tzdata-update (obviously the section about updating to the RHEL glibc
won't apply).
