    As someone else suggested run 'ntpq -p' or quicker is
    'ntpq -pn' and look for a '*' in column 1 of any row; if
    none then you're not synced with the server.

    Another common problem is that if your collection
    of machines are on a private LAN and their gateway
    machine has only a transient connection (even if
    disconnect/reconnect is very very fast as with some
    DSL connections) then xntpd does not handle this
    well and requires a restart on the gateway machine.
    If this is your case then switch to chronyd instead
    of xntpd on the gateway; the others can continue
    to use xntpd.
