Time is off in PG server

Hi,

When using date oriented functions on Postgresql, the time is an hour
off, or in certain times, one hour ahead.

System Timezone: EST
System Time (date command): Thu Aug 26 09:44:28 EDT 2004
SELECT now(); : 2004-08-26 08:44:31.307343-05
SELECT date_part('epoch', '2004-08-26'::timestamp) ; : 1093496400 (1am
on that day -- should be 12pm)

Any suggestions?
