That solves the issue just fine. I'll just have to remember to say 'keyid 1' whenever I start ntpdc. > Try giving the 'keyid' command after you restart ntpdc to be sure. It does say no keyid defined. > I'm not sure why you were not asked for it though... I found that odd. When I issue the addserver command, I get prompted for the keyid, but not when I issue the unconfig command.

Sorry, I'm not a very accomplished programmer.

Like I mentioned, specifying 'keyid 1' right after starting ntpdc solves the problem. Although I'd be interested in other solutions, or at least point me to where you've talked about them before. I use ntpdc regularly for adding/removing servers and fudging refclock values, etc. It's useful as I don't have to restart the server all the time. Not that it matters, as no one is maintaining ntpdc currently, but I think I found a bug while messing with it: saturn:$ ntpdc ntpdc> keyid no keyid defined ntpdc> unconfig 63.240.161.99 MD5 Password: ***Permission denied ntpdc> keyid keyid is 134682920 It seems to randomly generate a keyid and specify it for use, and then prompt for a password for that keyid even though it doesn't exist. And if I do it again: saturn:$ ntpdc ntpdc> keyid no keyid defined ntpdc> unconfig 63.240.161.99 MD5 Password: ***Permission denied ntpdc> keyid keyid is 134686616 A different keyid is generated.
