Hi Jan, thank you.
I'm using my own PC as an ntp server, and my embedded box(linux system) as ntp 
client. I generate key files through ntp-keygen on my PC and copied it both to 
/etc/ntp.keys on ntp client(the box) and my PC, then log on to the box. the 
ntp.conf on ntp client is:

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
keys /etc/ntp.keys
trustedkey 8 600
controlkey 8
restrict default ignore
restrict 127.0.0.1
#enable mode7
broadcastdelay 0.008
#6000000000s because we start at 1970
tinker panic 6000000000
restrict 192.168.1.101 nomodify notrap
server 192.168.1.101 minpoll 3 maxpoll 4

key file is
 1 MD5 P[G\;5Ob@[\[Ni4PJx3&  # MD5 key
 2 MD5 z}6`X[cpV%UDktmbghiA  # MD5 key
 3 MD5 %(4%pM<~(8p[cn,,S/0N  # MD5 key
 4 MD5 TT_QA;=x*G$4p1-d"1;C  # MD5 key
 5 MD5 ml~KoJ*<`vM&7fxTeR.@  # MD5 key
 6 MD5 +wc93d8[~tBRyzd<GL{L  # MD5 key
 7 MD5 _WMzU`YQpwN&?5TYJ^5i  # MD5 key
 8 MD5 ~mpv  # MD5 key
 9 MD5 ?N4f+')!S9@7.V*G3,xI  # MD5 key
600 MD5 mypassword  # MD5 key
11 SHA1 591701ab51fd2936651ce6920ffecc3ea5b99dea  # SHA1 key
12 SHA1 6fe71721baef0e91c41e23984cf9f663f18ba112  # SHA1 key
13 SHA1 bb96c2b73f01659194a94cadc496cedfa12f3832  # SHA1 key
14 SHA1 51f5237ef46c99492070deb5a762d7f434794b58  # SHA1 key

17 SHA1 14321c68317d531e004497bd9b6b0d475630a291  # SHA1 key
18 SHA1 89ac3debc33937ba25638ef0fc035d830fea6fe5  # SHA1 key
19 SHA1 9f47dda7ae80426c6aa8acac22dc9afef4b900fb  # SHA1 key
20 SHA1 80515077771a9e6d5bb70d6985b236008d962f34  # SHA1 key

I just changed the 10th one manually. After I logged, and execute: ntpq :config 
 unconfig 10.172.161.16 . The results still like this:
~ # ntpq
ntpq> :config unconfig 10.172.161.16
Keyid: 600
MD5 Password: (mypassword)
***Server disallowed request (authentication?)
ntpq> 

Is there anything wrong in my operation? Thank you.
