Hi
I agree, and help if I'm wrong!
For the client to authenticate the timesource

NTPCLIENT
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 beer
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1
ntp server 172.16.35.5 key 1

NTP Server
ntp authentication-key 1 md5 1307121719 7
ntp master

If I understand correctly, there is no need for the server to
authenticate the client???

Cheers
Happy Labbing!
JC

Guys, thatz the trickier part with NTP. It is always the Client which
authenticates the Server.. Because he wants to make sure he is getting
the right time from the right server...
 My 2 cents
