After reading the thread on ubuntu-hardened and doing some research of
my own, a lack of instructions does not seem to be the primary problem
here. It sounds like an external infrastructure problem since the public
NTP pool does not guarantee that their servers support NTP
authentication.

I'm marking this bug as confirmed with an importance of wishlist. If
anyone has suggestions on working around the lack of NTP authentication
support across the entire public NTP pool, please leave a comment.
Thanks!
