[NCLUG] NTP server question

[Jeffrey D. Means]

Thank you you put me onto the right path... It turned out to be that my ntp 
server was expecting authentication on the peer side but none of my peers 
were setup to do authentication.  The whole [notrust] keyword on the restrict 
line was causing my problems.

diffusion, and far greater effect, aided  as it is by the element
of surprise.
