MySQL time differs from system

[arsen.gushin]

Hi, all.

OS: Debian 3.1 Stable
mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.11, for pc-linux-gnu (i386)

shell> date

Tue Jun 20 09:36:xx EDT 2006

mysql> select now();

+---------------------+
| now()               |
+---------------------+
| 2006-06-20 08:36:xx |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT @@global.time_zone, @@session.time_zone;

+--------------------+---------------------+
| @@global.time_zone | @@session.time_zone |
+--------------------+---------------------+
| SYSTEM             | SYSTEM              |
+--------------------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

So, if both global and session time_zone variables set to SYSTEM, why system and MySQL time differs?
