   You cannot use the "ntp server" command if you want to do
   authentication. Use the "NTP peer" command on both server and client
   to get it to work correctly.

       Simon, the problem is that if I enable authentication on the
   server side, the clients still connect whether I specify
   authentication on the client or not. I debug ntp auth and see
   NOTHING. I debug ntp packets and see the same whether I have
   authentication on or not.
   
       I'm thinking that if I enable authentication on the server then
   none of the clients should be able to sync without authentication.
   Like OSPF or RIP2.
   
       I have searched CCO and TAC database for any complete NTP
   authentication configs and have found none. I find that curious. I
   can't find any, not even partial using NTP authentication.

     A common problem is using the "ntp server x.x.x.x" command without
     the "key"
     e.g
     
     ntp authenticate
     ntp trusted-key 1
     ntp authentication-key 1 md5 cisco
     ntp server x.x.x.x key 1

      Can you show us what configuration you are using?

     I have no problem getting the other 5 to pull time from the master

         However, I cannot get authentication to work. The clients synch

     I'm sure I'm implementing wrong. Any help?
         Thanks!
