Danny, thanks for the input but for me as a novice: how does this fit into the principle of using 'broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx key xx' as the way of time-correction? That is, when your assumption above is correct, I can still use only one key, namely the assumed key to identify the server (because I see no way of sending along the other two; see also discussion in this thread's history with others confirming the impossibility) > > Another possibility is that three keys were intended for use by three > different servers. ok, possibly > Note that the ntp.conf file allows comments.
