The default is set to MD5 in ntpq:69 and packet.py:729; might I suggest 
updating it to 'AES-256' or "SHA{,3-}512"? They would get truncated until 
(presumably) NTPv5 comes in and replace the authentication trailer with an 
extension.
 
The keytype command(?) is also available via ntpq -c "keytype AES-256" and the 
'keyid' command to go with it. Help is in the usual places.___

Authentication in ntpq

[Hal Murray via devel]

Some commands in ntpq require authentication.

I just tried it, and it wants an MD5 password.  MD5 is way old.  Is there a 
way to switch to AES?
