[Bug 1039420] Re: NTP security vulnerability because not using authentication by default

[Marc Deslauriers]

Unfortunately, ntp autokey is broken and insecure, it can't be used to
provide any additional security.

The only solution for the moment is for system administrators to set up
their own symmetric keys with their own ntp server.
