Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

Running Hardy with all the latest updates.

I have NTP installed and working.  I wanted to change my time servers to
use ones local to my network, instead of the default Ubuntu time server.
I opened time-admin (System->Administration->Time and Date) and unlocked
it.  I clicked the "Select Servers" button next to "Time Servers:".  I
unchecked the existing time server and used "Add" to add two new ones;
they were checked for me.  I clicked "Close".

I checked /etc/ntp.conf and the new servers did appear to be configured
properly there.

However, when I run "ntpq -p", even hours later, it's still using only
the original time server; the newly configured servers are not used.

I ran "sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart", and now my new time servers are
being used properly.

time-admin needs to restart NTP when the server list is changed.

** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
