Thanks,

However, example B also did not work. Some more playing with the configs
revealed the proper setup... I think.

Clear Text:

 router ospf 1
  area 0 authentication
 interface e0
  ip ospf authentication-key cisco

MD5

  router ospf 1
   area 0 authentication message-digest
  interface e0
   ip ospf message-digest-key md5 cisco

Thanks for the help and for making me work at it a little more. I was
ready to give up and look it up :-)
