Which "brand" of Linux? There is no 10.3 version of Linux (current
kernels are in the 2.6 series), but there may well be a 10.3 version of
some Linux "distribution".

Note. If you are building a new system, the current release version of
ntpd is 4.2.4p5.

The new Linux is SuSE 10.3, kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1.

Not quite yet. That is still in beta testing (release candidate) The
production version if 4.2.4p4
I suspect he is using SUSE since its latest is 10.3 but I would have
expected it to have p4, not p3. Something sounds messed up with the key
handling/authentication. Not sure why he wants to use authentication.

The OP is trying to use ntpdc to add/remove servers from a running ntpd.
This requires the use of symmetric keys. And it requires a comptible
ntpdc.

Steve,

The control program ntpdc is compatable with the daemon.
See below:
ntp daemon version is: "ntpd 4.2.4p3@1.1502-o Sat Sep 22 01:01:25 UTC
2007 (1)"
ntpdc version is: ntpdc 4.2.4p3@1.1502-o Sat Sep 22 01:01:31
UTC 2007 (1)

Are there any incompatabilities with these 2 programs?

ntpdc uses the mode-7 messages which are version specific. As long as
both ntpd and ntpdc are the same version they should interoperate
without any problems.

Do you use the OpenSuSE provided package?
don't beat me over the head but afaik ntp
runs chrooted in 10.3. your daemon may see
completely different files.

Additionally you may have issues with the firewall
and/or AppArmor.

have a look into /usr/sbin/rcntp
