Re: ntp broadcast authentication

By operating in broadcast or multicast mode, the host announces its
willingness to synchronise all of the peers, but not to be
synchronised by any of them. Broadcast mode requires a broadcast
server on the same subnet, while multicast mode requires support for
IP multicast on the client machine, as well as connectivity via the
MBONE to a multicast server. Broadcast and multicast modes are active
modes.

An error condition results when both peers operate in the same mode,
except for the case of symmetric-active mode.

Here are the docs on the broadcast client:
