Hi Jaycee, Did that config work for you..? I guess you are missing the ntp
authenticate command on the server...., by configuring that command on the
server side, it is really not authenticating the client, but it just helps
to send an appropriate hash in response when the client is authenticating..
Hope i clarified it.
