It's better to use the PCLinuxOS Control Center (PCC) for the time settings.
System > time and date settings.

PCC = Blue, black icon with tools in it.

i have seen systems that refuse to accept a new hour/date and you have to go to bios and set it there

are you on kde3 or kde4?

Please allow 1 minute for the change to show in the taskbar after you enter your root password.

Seems date and time settings on KDE have no root permissions ( it don't ask for password).

It does for me. It doesn't work for time zone but for time/date it asks me for root password. Then after I hit apply about a minute later the time on the taskbar changes. This is a brand new Beta 2 install updated as of 10 minutes ago.

My mistake, it's also working here, but I'm used the time and date setting via PCC.  :o :o
Time/Date settings in the timezone works in PCC and for using the NTP servers.

I don't think the KDE developers expect you to be running their desktop as root!
