[ntp:questions] ntpq authentication problem

I've upgrading the ntp from 4.6.1 to 4.8.1, and need to change some commands which depend on ntpdc to ntpq since ntpdc has been depreciated in 4.8.1 version. And I met a problem.

When I first set the keyid to 0, it said "Invalid key identifier", so I set it to 1, but it requires a MD5 Password. I don't quite understand how to get the keyid and password. 

Can you give me some advice? Appreciate your help very much.


~ # ntpq
ntpq> :config addserver 192.168.1.101 minpoll 3 maxpoll 4 burst
Keyid: 0
Invalid key identifier
ntpq> :config addserver 192.168.1.101 minpoll 3 maxpoll 4 burst
Keyid: 1
MD5 Password: 
***Server disallowed request (authentication?)
ntpq>
