I'm using the following config file for my NTP server: # Change xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to the IP address of the NTP host you want to # synchronize from, preferably one that has a low 'stratum' (will be # shown when you do ntptrace) and is close to you netwise. server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx driftfile /var/run/ntp.drift I've put the above file with an appropriate IP address in /etc/ntp.conf, and set the appropriate part of rc.conf as follows: ntpdate_enable="NO" # Run the ntpdate to sync time (or NO). ntpdate_flags="" # Flags to ntpdate (if enabled). xntpd_enable="YES" # Run xntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO). xntpd_flags="" # Flags to xntpd (if enabled). Be aware that xntpd takes quite a while to connect - often several minutes. As for the authentication server, I don't know what kind of authorization you want to do, so I can't help you there.
