Time Differences

[Glenn]

I'm trying to figure out why different applications display different times 
on my fully-patched RHEL 4 server.  Assume the time at the console is 10:00.  
If I log in remotely using PuTTy, the date command shows the time is 10:00.  
If I create a text file, it also shows it was created at 10:00.  If I connect 
via FTP using the same user name and list the text file, the creation time 
shows 15:00.  In fact, all the file times are five hours later in the FTP 
window than they are in the PuTTy window.  There is another application, a 
print server, that shows all times an hour different from the console time.  
Any idea why the differences, or how to fix them?  Thanks.   -Glenn.
