Infact, I had the same worry. I went ahead to clear my
doubt with one of our old CCIEs and the answer I got -
"Cisco's NTP implementation usually behaves weird with
authentication".
I was not at all convinced with that answer. would
appreciate if someone answers this. Infact I went
ahead and used lattest IOS to make sure if it was a
bug and may be it had been taken care in the latter
versions, but it still syncs up if you take out
authentication on one end. prety weird !!
Thanks
