Conguring NTP control key password
The Network Time Protocal daemon (NTPD) design uses NTPQ to congure NTPD. NTP control key supports encrypted and unencrypted
password options. The ntp control-key- passwd command authenticates NTPQ packets. The default control-key-passwd
authenticates the NTPQ packets until the user changes the control-key using the ntp control-key- passwd command.
To congure NTP control key password, use the following command.
Congure NTP control key password.
CONFIGURATION mode
