My router makes regular NTP checks. I wanted to set this laptop to sync with the router, so attempted to activate NTP in SystemSettings. First, I tried setting it to my router's IP. I was asked for the root password, twice, then told that it could not authenticate. While it didn't seem likely that it would affect authentication, I then tried setting it to the Europe ntp pool. Again, I was ask for the root password twice, and again told that it could not authenticate.
I assume that there is little I can do about this, but it should be reported - against what?

What fedora/kde releases are you using here?
I think we may have some f12/polkit1 related auth issues to sort out.

It's Date/Time KCM module bug, not related to polkit-qt-1 (it's related as it's rewrite of whole KCM backend but... :D). Radek Novacek (CC'ing him) is now looking on it. Other KAuth based services work as expected.

And it's kdebase-workspace component.

Probably not relevant, in view of Jaroslav's reply, but I have kdebase-workspace-4.3.90-9.fc12.i686

It's relevant - this is KDE 4.4 only issue. I hope we will find solution asap. Probably reporting it upstream would be nice too.

Bug #219035
Although the setting appeared to hold, when I ran systemsettings as root, I later found it to be disabled in systemsettings.

This module has always a little bit weird :-) I use to set automatic date & time during installation from within Anaconda. I've never seen this setting being taken over by KDE.

i wish i could give you an answer, but i can throw some questions your way. i tried what you are trying years back and gave up, but these are some of what i had to deal with to get close.
is root password same thru out your systems?
what ntp *server* did you install on router?
if using ntpd, did you let router stabilize before queuing it?
is ntp allowed 'inside' by firewalls, or is it passed thru?
