Ah, /etc/localtime was 0 bytes. It as linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York (also 0 bytes). I copied the New_York file to the server that was saying UTC. That worked but then I rebooted to see if another setting would "take" and when the server came back up, New_York was 0 bytes again. I think that this has something to do with either NTP "eating" this information or the graphical interface (system -> date/time?). This brings up my next question, the RH docs say to use System -> Date/Time Properties to enable NTP. How can I do this via the command line?
