that's a good one. i would think you would get an authentication type error
between mismatched neighbors and only form neighbors on those that match.
if you configure md5 between rtr_b -- rtr_a and type 1 clear-text between
rtr_b -- rtr_c, rtr_a should only form neighbor with rtr_b and rtr_c should
only form neighbor with rtr_b. did you clear ip ospf proc or reload after
you set up authentication?
