No it is not that. If you do on one side and not the other and keep the
situation as it is (i mean do not relaod/or restart the ospf process)
everything will appear to you as alright.Just try restarting the routers or
clearing the ospf process and trouble will come.Then you will come to note
that the both sides need to be authenticated for things to work properly.
