ntp_authspeed(1Mtcp)
ntp_authspeed --
compute NTP authentication delay
Synopsis
ntp_authspeed
[-c]
[-d]
[-m]
[-nnumber] sample_keys_file
Description
ntp_authspeed
is used to calculate values for the
authdelay
entry in
/etc/inet/ntp.conf
(see
xntpd(1Mtcp)).
When run on a sample keys file (sample_keys_file),
ntp_authspeed
will output suggested values for
authdelay.
Options
- -c
-
Computes and displays the actual cost of the computations, rather than
displaying the suggested value for
authdelay.
- -d
-
Enables debugging output.
- -m
-
Computes the delay for MD5 authentication.
This is the default as
DES authentication
is not currently supported, but the option
remains for backward compatibility.
- -n number
-
Perform number
computational loops instead of the default of 20000 (or 2000 if
-c is used).
The format of the key entries is described in
xntpd(1Mtcp).
Only key entries of type ``M'' for MD5 authentication
are supported at this time.
Files
- /etc/inet/ntp.samplekeys
-
sample key file
