DJ,

I don't know either. The message would seem to come from the packet() routine in ntp_proto.c, which doesn't know about Autokey. However, the only message produced by that routine is "packet: flash header ...". A grep over all ../include, ../ntpd and ../libntp turns up no such message as you cite.

I don't remember putting in or taking out such a message; if that happened it was long (in the scheme of things) ago. As there has been a number of code adjustments to handle errors and odd cases more gracefully, the best advice I can give is upgrade to the latest snapshot (ntp-dev).

I followed the instructions:

For example, trusted host Alice generates keys using

ntp-keygen -H -T -I -p xyz

where H specifies a new host key, T the trusted certificate, I the IFF
identity scheme and p the password used to encrypt the private key
files. The group key file is ntpkey_IFFpar_alice.filestamp, where
filestamp represents the NTP time in seconds when the file was
generated.

Host Bob generate keys using

ntp-keygen -H -p abc

where abc is different for each group host. The trusted host generates
a password-protected group key using

ntp-keygen -q xyz -p abc -e >temp


AND all I get, on Bob, is

packet: bad data 400 from address: 138.64.1.48

What's going on with autokey ?
