Description Michael Terry 2011-03-28 14:47:02 UTC 
The current policykit prompt for modifying date and time settings is:

"Privileges are required to configure time and date settings."

The words "privileges" and "configure" are not the most common words to use for prompting for a password.

What about "To change time or date settings, you need to authenticate." ?  Patch attached.

(Original suggestion hat tip to Matthew Paul Thomas.)

That particular piece of code might soon be removed, as we'll be using
systemd's org.freedesktop.timedate1 D-Bus API.
