You may find the information at
http://support.ntp.org/Support/ConfiguringAutokey to be helpful.

This means that the debate about ntp-stable vs ntp-dev is not relevant
to your case. Just remember that the documentaion at
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ is for ntp-dev; see
http://doc.ntp.org/ or the ./html/ directory in the release tarball for
your version for the documentation applicable to that version.

The problem here is that you want to operate _two_ trust groups:

server2 trusts serverT1
server3 trusts server2

Server3 needs to be able to trust server2. Try regenerating the
paramters on server2 using '-T'.
