The authentication still passes. Why is that? ntpq talks directly to the ntpd process over the network. If you run ntpq without specifying where the server is located it talks to ntpd on localhost. Which time sources ntpd uses is immaterial. ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
Re: [ntp:questions] moving from ntpdc to ntpq

But now, I use ntpq to replace ntpdc, if I add :config before addserver, I need to authenticate. Is there any way to avoid authenticate in ntpq utility? Thank you. I don't know how to addserver in ntpq. There's little knowledge about this on the Internet. Thank you so much. Catherine, Could you remind me again why you need to add and remove servers rather than letting NTP get on with the job? The pool directive allows NTP to add an discard servers as it needs, with NTP monitoring each server's performance. Could that be an alternative approach? If you are in a test environment, what's wrong with simply editing ntp.conf and restarting? -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu ___ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions

Only thing I can think of is that the keys file might not be owned by root. Is it? I found out the reason, I set disable authentication when ntpd started in my program. when I enable authentication, the authenticate passes. Thank you for your help.
