 Tnx guys,

 So now my /etc/ntp.conf is like :
 server ntp.xs4all.nl

 driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift

 Problem is, when I open time-admin from console (root),
 everything is greyed out, and I can't change from manual to
 time servers.
 I have added a screenshot.

That has probably to do with gnome/dbus/polkit, which I leave to other people 
to answer, as they're on stay far away from it list ;)

 Hi all,

 I have been using the ntp.org server pool successfully.  There are
 instructions for configuring your NTP server to connect to it here:

 http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html

I know about these, but they suffer from the same bug as Slashdot comments and 
Wikipedia: everybody's an expert syndrome.
Also, Xs4all is a dutch provider, running FreeBSD since Windriver dumped BSDi.

synchronize time

2009-05-16 Thread Roy Stuivenberg 
Hello,

I seem to be unable to change my systemtime to synchronize with time
servers.
I'm using 7.2 stable and gnome2.
policykit.conf =
config version=0.1
match user=root
return result=yes/
/match
define_admin_auth group=wheel/
match user=amsroy
return result=yes/
/match
define_admin_auth group=wheel/
/config
And ntpd_enable=YES in rc.conf.

Regards,
Roy.

Policykit should be irrelevant (at least I hope it doesn't put it's claws in 
there). WHat's your /etc/ntp.conf and anything ntpd-ish in /var/log/messages?
