Assigning to usermode package.
Thanks for your report. system-config-date seems to run fine for me. - Can you please specify how you are "trying to update system time" in more detail? What desktop environment are you using? Are you running a command from the command line, an application in the menu, or perhaps using the clock applet? - Please try to run the program in question, and when the password prompt appears: - switch to a virtual terminal, log in there as root - find the PID of an "userhelper" process - run (strace -ff -o log -p the_pid_found_above) - switch back to X, enter the password - THE GENERATED log* FILES WILL CONTAIN THE PASSWORD. Edit them to replace it with some other string. - Please attach an archive containing the generated files.
