Hello, again
David, I tried using latest development version (4.2.5p179). However, 
ntp-keygen there looks like ignoring -e option when I want to export a 
group key for clients. What I'm doing is:
% ntp-keygen -T -I -p serverpasswd -s hostname
(...)
% ls
ntpkey_IFFkey_hostname.3452249317       
ntpkey_RSAhost_hostname.3452249317      ntpkey_host_hostname
ntpkey_RSA-MD5cert_hostname.3452249317  
ntpkey_cert_hostname                    ntpkey_iffkey_hostname
% ntp-keygen -e -q serverpasswd -p clientpasswd
(...)
% ls
ntpkey_IFFkey_hostname.3452249317       
ntpkey_RSAhost_rocket.3452249503        ntpkey_host_rocket
ntpkey_RSA-MD5cert_hostname.3452249317  
ntpkey_cert_hostname                    ntpkey_iffkey_hostname
ntpkey_RSAhost_hostname.3452249317      ntpkey_host_hostname

So it looks like the second ntp-keygen call is just creating new keys 
for my machine (rocket) instead of exporting the public values for those 
previously generated.

Thank you in advance,
Best Regards,
Grzegorz Daniluk
