Well if the NTP is working, and therefore the authentication, when you change the clock on the server you should soon have the clients altering their clocks to match.

Thanks a lot John! I have tried out your suggestion on our NTP servers. How do check though if the authentication is working? Is there any command to test? Or probably, how do I test if ntp is still working?
thanks again!

The “xntpd” service – for clients of the machine to be able to use the machine as a time server - is configured as follows.
Edit “/etc/ntp.conf”, comment out "broadcastclient" with a "#":
#broadcastclient
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
tracefile /etc/ntp.trace
Add the following lines pointing to the machine itself:
server 127.127.1.0 prefer # 10.X.X.X - self
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 0 # values for local clock
keys /etc/ntp.keys # where the keys are
trustedkey 15 # keyid's we trust
requestkey 15 # keyid for mode 7 requests (xntpdc)
controlkey 15 # keyid for mode 6 requests (ntpq)
enable auth # turn on authentication
#broadcast xxt.xxx.xxx.xxx # turn on broadcast
Create the file “/etc/ntp.keys”, based on the sample file provided “/usr/samples/xntp/example.keys”. Change the key values to your own password-like entries:
2 M admin
15 M root

Hi All,
Can you advise how to configure NTP authentication from one NTP server to the other? Is there something to be ran to generate ntp.keys or that has to be manually created?
Thanks in advance!
