New description:

 ==Testcase 1==
 * Open the My Settings panel
 * Open the Date and Time settings panel

 ==Testcase 2==
 * Open the My Settings panel
 * Open the Date and Time settings panel
 * Enter a value in the text entry field (for a ntp server address)

 Probably, some group permissions need to be set in-order to make sure this
 functions correctly.
