assuming that you want the hw clock to run local time, then
edit /etc/sysconfig/clock manually as follows:
ZONE="your timezone" (taken from /usr/share/zoneinfo/, e.g. "US/Central")
UTC=false
ARC=false
reboot after saving the file.
This file (/etc/sysconfig/clock) gets read by rc.sysinit and sets things
up during the boot process. hence a reboot is necessary if you wish to
see what it will do "the next time you reboot".
and, as I recall, timetool does not deal w/ the UTC/ARC settings, so if they
are wrong, they will continue to be wrong. this is from memory from a long
time ago. it is possible that timetool has been either updated or fixed, but
I suspect that this might not be the case.
