I hope you are not using Autokey version 1, as the crypto library for that version is no longer available. There have been a number of minor bugfixes, but the Autokey version 2 code with OpenSSL now in the NTP development version has been through the grinder and come out whole. Autokey version 2 is running on most of our machines and those normally closed to public access are open with signature and identity keys. Send a no-body message with selected password in the subject field to mills+crypto@ntp.org. The IFF identity key and shell script will be in the reply. Assuming standard defaults, all you have to do is build and install OpenSSL and the NTP distribution and run the script to generate and install the keys. Try pogo.udel.edu.
