After reading the message from Christos, I disabled authentication by
putting -A in ntpd_flags.

$ grep ntp /etc/rc.conf
ntpd=YES
ntpd_flags="-g -A"

$ grep -v ^# /etc/ntp.conf 
pidfile         /var/run/ntpd.pid
driftfile       /var/db/ntp.drift
logconfig       -syncstatus
server  clocktower.orst.edu
server  ntp.uoregon.edu
server  bigben.cac.washington.edu
server  time.mit.edu


I am now getting a different error in Windows:

"An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with gatekeeper.
This operation returned because the timeout period expired."


What I see on the ntpd side is:

receive: at 42 10.0.11.12 mode 1 code 4
peer_clear: at 42
mobilize 28584 5 next 16
packet: bad header 024


What would be a good way to troubleshoot this further?

Thank you,

Ben
