Thank you mark54g, I have set up ntpd and hopefully that should take care of our problem. The service was not running and when I looked it up it was only checking locally, so added a known NTP that were using for our manual execution.
Appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

I've been tasked to implement ntp on my SCO Unix servers. I have over 600 servers spread across the US in different time zones. Each remote server has network connectivity to a main server here, through their local ISP. (That's how we currently deliver mail to them).
My question is, how can... (5 Replies)

ntp.keys
NTP.KEYS(5) BSD File Formats Manual NTP.KEYS(5)
NAME
ntp.keys -- NTP daemon key file format
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ntp.keys
DESCRIPTION
Following is a description of the format of NTP key files. For a description of the use of these files, see the "Authentication Support"
section of the ntp.conf(5) page.
In the case of DES, the keys are 56 bits long with, depending on type, a parity check on each byte. In the case of MD5, the keys are 64 bits
(8 bytes). ntpd(8) reads its keys from a file specified using the -k command line option or the keys statement in the configuration file.
While key number 0 is fixed by the NTP standard (as 56 zero bits) and may not be changed, one or more of the keys numbered 1 through 15 may
be arbitrarily set in the keys file.
The key file uses the same comment conventions as the configuration file. Key entries use a fixed format of the form
keyno type key
where keyno is a positive integer, type is a single character which defines the key format, and key is the key itself.
The key may be given in one of four different formats, controlled by the type character. The four key types, and corresponding formats, are
listed following.
S The key is a 64-bit hexadecimal number in the format specified in the DES specification; that is, the high order seven bits of each octet
are used to form the 56-bit key while the low order bit of each octet is given a value such that odd parity is maintained for the octet.
Leading zeroes must be specified (i.e., the key must be exactly 16 hex digits long) and odd parity must be maintained. Hence a zero key,
in standard format, would be given as '0101010101010101'.
N The key is a 64-bit hexadecimal number in the format specified in the NTP standard. This is the same as the DES format, except the bits
in each octet have been rotated one bit right so that the parity bit is now the high order bit of the octet. Leading zeroes must be spec-
ified and odd parity must be maintained. A zero key in NTP format would be specified as '8080808080808080'.
A The key is a 1-to-8 character ASCII string. A key is formed from this by using the low order 7 bits of each ASCII character in the
string, with zeroes added on the right when necessary to form a full width 56-bit key, in the same way that encryption keys are formed
from UNIX passwords.
M The key is a 1-to-8 character ASCII string, using the MD5 authentication scheme. Note that both the keys and the authentication schemes
(DES or MD5) must be identical between a set of peers sharing the same key number.
Note that the keys used by the ntpq(8) and ntpdc(8) programs are checked against passwords requested by the programs and entered by hand, so
it is generally appropriate to specify these keys in ASCII format.

BUGS
ntpd(8) has gotten rather fat. While not huge, it has gotten larger than might be desirable for an elevated-priority daemon running on a
workstation, particularly since many of the fancy features which consume the space were designed more with a busy primary server, rather than
a high stratum workstation, in mind.
