Someone raised the issue that the "time server" option in the date and time applet was greyed out on their system. It turns out that this occurs if neither ntpdate nor rdate binaries are present, so I added the dep. There's been some pushback on this so maybe it'll be reverted or maybe not. It's being tracked in bug #621754 for anyone who wants to chime in. Kind regards, Michael
