Hi, I'm lately upgrading the ntp from 4.6.5 to 4.8.1p, when I use ntpq to add server, it prompted for a keyid and MD5 password. I don't know how to get this keyid and password. Before the upgrade, the keyid is 0, so it doesn't need authentification. Can you tell me how to get the keyid and password? Thank you. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
