The first question to ask yourself is: what problem are you trying to solve? All that authentication does for you is to provide some assurance that you are really dealing with the server you think you are instead of a bogus server set up by a hacker to cause mischief! Many sites run without authentication. Others need to be able to prove that their time stamps are traceable to NIST or some comparable national standards agency in another country. Such sites need authentication. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
