1If you want DES support in ntp:
2
3- Use MD5 instead:
4- - convert your DES keys to MD5 by changing the 'A', 'N' or 'S' to 'M'
5
6If you *need* DES support:
7
8- first see if you can simply "want" DES support instead
9- Follow the instructions in README.rsa
10
11Be advised that the RSA DES code is not quite as portable as one might

13of the same "endianness".
