Group,

This is how i would have done it to be sure and couple of CCIE's whom i
know say it has worked all the time for them too. Even "All in One study
guide" shows it this way.

On Master: ( 3 commands)
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 cisco
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1
ntp master

On client end: (4 commands)
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 cisco
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1
ntp server x.x.x.x key 1

Let me know, if its otherwise.

Good Luck,[IMAGE]
Kasturi.
