How to configure authentication ntp

[Ming Zhao]

Hi guys,

network team gave me a configuration file they did on network device, they want to do configure NTP client on HP-UX server to use authentication keys. I have no idea how to configure it. can there somebody help me out?

===========================
network configuration guide:

ntp authentication-key 1999 md5 ABCABC 7
ntp authenticate
ntp trusted-key 1999
ntp source Loopback0
ntp access-group peer 95
ntp access-group serve-only 96
ntp server 192.168.1.1
ntp server 192.168.1.2

if there is a hardware clock add:

ntp update-calendar

# note the MD5 clear password: XYZXYZ
# NTP trusted key: 1999

or use the HTTP thingy: http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90685/ch07.html

Thanks for reply, I need to know how to configure these file based on what I gave. Do you have any example for these files?

Thanks,

They gave you a list of things that need to be TRANSLATED into HP speak.

ntp is xntpd on hpux, thus THEY (the netowrking people) need to translate!

Then hand them the HP manual on NTP and ask them to identify the HP specific things they want set and then set them in /etc/ntp.conf
