Details

Description:
When trying to enable the Network Time (ntp) via the "date and time" in gnome-panel, it never work.
The problem is highlighted in .xsession-errors

Additional info:
* package version(s)
- gnome-panel 3.0.2-1
* config and/or log files etc.
~/.xsession-errors

Steps to reproduce:
- with gnome-shell, clic on the user's menu
- choose "System Settings" (it opens the gnome-panel)
- clic on "Date and Time"
- clic on "unlock"
- clic to turn on the "Network Time"
- close the window
- come back in the "date and time"
Then you'll see that the button is on "off"

if you check ~/.xsession-errors, you'll get something like this :
(gnome-control-center:3603): datetime-cc-panel-WARNING **: Could not set system to use NTP: Error enabling NTP init script: neither /sbin/chkconfig nor /usr/sbin/update-rc.d are present

So I think this is a bug and it should enable the ntpd via rc.conf "DAEMON" instead of trying to enable it with Debian or Fedora-like tools.
This task depends upon

sure is a bug since they assume that gnome works only on redhat or opensuse. I'm not going to try to fix this since for 3.2 i think they will use systemd for this feature.
