Set OSPF authentication key to a cryptographic password. The cryptographic
algorithm is MD5. KEYID identifies secret key used to create the message
-digest. KEY is the actual message digest key up to 16 chars. Note that OSPF
-MD5 authentication requires that time never go backwards, even across
-resets, if ospfd is to be able to promptly reestabish adjacencies with it's
-neighbours after restarts/reboots. The host should have system time be set
-at boot from an external source (eg battery backed clock, NTP, etc.) if MD5
-authentication is to be expected to work reliably.
