What has not been mentioned is the TZ environment variable. Check to see what it is set to. If you are in central time zone it should be TZ=CST6CDT. Without that set, you get UTC time when you do "date" and such (assuming the clock is set to use UTC)... I think the command to set up the timezone for the system is tzconfig. Each user can set their timezone in the .profile or .bash_profile (or .bashrc, or ...).
