On Fedora 18 & up

Besides the above mentioned plus "timedatectl" as a CLI counterpart to a
"system-config-date".
Although, it lacks the 'iburst' directive and "timedatectl set-ntp" is
broken in Fedora 18 - systemd 201.
$ timedatectl set-ntp false/true
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory

Though, it working well in Fedora 19/20 - systemd 204.
Anyhow, man 1 timedatectl & Co. ;)

Before filing a bug contra "timedatectl, has anyone encountered this
bug, also?
