Run ntpq, then type "peers" at the prompt.
You should see some peers listed. If ntp's been running for a while, one
of them should have an asterisk next to it (this is the one with which the
system is currently synchronizing) and the "offset" column should show a
fairly small number, usually within +/- 100 ms. For example, here's the
output from my machine:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset
jitter
