As I wrote before, I can edit every timer file and set the elapse time. What I can't do is to change one setting which says when daily maintenance tasks are run. This was possible with cron, but is no longer possible now. What's the problem to edit four files? Well, this is multiplied by the number of machines that are under my care. Again, here is relevant systemd RFE link: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77938
This is bogus. See "man 7 systemd.time"; what you want is something like "OnCalendar=*-*-* 04:10:20" for a job that runs every day at 4:10:20 AM.

Systemd timers (at least in the current form) are _not_ cron replacement. However, they are adequate for daily maintainance jobs that are shipped with packages. If you had custom, carefully scheduled cron jobs, you should continue using cronie. What I don't understand is why do you care when man-db/updatedb runs?
After re-reading the documentation I have to take this back, systemd timers seem to implement all features provided by cronie. Cheers, -- Leonid Isaev GPG fingerprints: DA92 034D B4A8 EC51 7EA6 20DF 9291 EE8A 043C B8C4 C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
