This configuration makes absolutely no sense. maxpoll should never be
used unless you really understand what it's used for and you have a very
specific reason for doing so. Otherwise it should never be used.
The drift file is optional and goes there anyway by default

If you enable authentication you need to set up keys or you will never
be able receive packets. You use restrict statements to restrict what
others can do.

Look at the configuration information in the Support section:
https://ntp.isc.org/private/bin/view/Support/WebHome for simple
configurations.

Please do not give advice on something you do not understand.
