Martin, you said: "Apart from the fact that the warning message might be a bit scary, I don't see a problem with it. After all, it is true, and if your clock jumps, then there's definitively a problem."
The problem is, if I adjust my computer's clock, and it can happen for a variety of reasons including a bug in edgy that I suppose misconfigures the NTP client - let's not talk about that now - I can no longer become root to administer my system. If I move the clock backward, though, I can, hence security is not increased, but usability is decreased - this is how I see it. Is there a simple way to remove the "mark" using the user's password?
