Deselect "System clock is UTC".  What that says, IIRC, is that if the
hardware clock is UTC, do the appropriate timezone conversion before
displaying it.  However, the vast majority of clocks (especially on x86
platforms) are set to local time, so a timezone offset would cause error.
However, NTP spits out UTC, leaving it up to the clients to do the right
thing with timezones.

You can see what timezone your clock is in with the "hwclock" utility.
Use "hwclock --set --localtime" to set the hardware clock timezone to EDT,
and that should give you the desired result.
