Missing features compiling NTP vs installing already built

Question

I have found that if I compile NTP myself, the package ntp-keygen is missing Autokey authentication features.

The help screen of my compiled ntp is as follows:

From the documentation, these features should be enabled by default. This is confirmed when I check ./configure --help:

*the + symbol means it is enabled by default

As per the docs, you may also need to build and install OpenSSL libraries. As the missing options are related to crypto operations, this seems very likely in your case. — Haxiel

Hmm I thought OpenSSL is installed if you have SSH? I will take a look at the OpenSSL now. — AwesomeJackify
