I'm not sure if this is what's causing your problems, but you could try running time-admin using gksu. A more likely guess is that you're bitten by bug 418513 which should be fixed now, look for an updated package in incoming. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=418513 0. I think this is fixed in the newer releases, they should be available in Debian quite soon. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
