Since there seems to be a nice xntpd thread going...
Is it possible to take the security stuff in xntpd (md5/des I believe)
and do the following:
client/leaf server real clock source
xntpd <-------------------> xntpd <---------------------> xntpd
authenticated non-authenticated
Assume we only care about authentication.
Say we have 3 systems:
1. client
2. server
3. clock source
#2 gets the time from #3, but #3 only serves up nonauthenticated time
ntp messages. However 1 (client) gets its time from #2. Can
we setup an authenticated time "channel" between #1 and #2, assuming
we control both. And obviousally, if so, how?
