The way that I have my system set up is the hardware clock is set to GMT 
and my /etc/sysconfig/clock looks like this:

ZONE="America/New_York"
UTC=true
ARC=false

I'm in the New York area so this works for me. Take note of the UTC usage. 
UTC will set the software clock (OS level) to an offset of the hardware 
clock as defined by ZONE (currently -4 for this timezone). DST (if defined 
for your zone as not all use it) works seamlessly this way too :)

P.S. I'm using RH 7.3 but the format of the clock config file should be 
the same wherever it's located.
