Release : 1.fc18

Summary : A graphical interface for modifying system date and time
Description :
system-config-date is a graphical interface for changing the system date and
time, configuring the system time zone, and setting up the NTP daemon to
synchronize the time of the system with an NTP time server.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update uses pkexec instead of consolehelper/usermode and reads/writes /etc/localtime
as a symbolic link. Additionally, it doesn't rely on that the file
/etc/sysconfig/network is present on the system.
