Thanks for your report. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. I've assigned it to the gnome-panel package. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage .

Upon trying to reproduce the problem, I've noted that it seems to be sourced in the time-admin capplet itself, so I'm changing the source package to gnome-system-tools and confirming.

Same problem here--looks like a permissions problem--I was able to reset my time by:

sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop

sudo ntpdate-debian

I have tried the solution suggested by Dean Loros on 2007-12-13 and it did not seem to allow me to use or change any of the ntd setting under the clock applet.

This issue is fixed when you upgrade the policykit-gnome package to version 0.7, this can be done by a simple update.
