Hi, thank you for your answer, I typed the wrong password. When I changed the 
complicated password to a simple one say "mypassword" and I tested it again, 
then authenticate passed, but it's strange why can I change the password ? As 
it is generated by ntp md5 algorithm, if I change the password, then 
authenticate should fail and the ntp server can't parse the new password in my 
understanding.
