Check out ntpq

It is a utility to query the status of a running ntp process.  If the
machine is not synced it will not respond to requests

ntpq -p will dump the current status to the screen 

ntpq -p hostname will do the same to remote timeserver.

The machine will not sync if it is too far out and you will need to do a
manual sync using 

ntpdate upstreamtimeservername

the redhat supplied scripts will do a ntpdate fo machines listed in
/etc/ntp/step-tickers and should elinminate any problem there

ntpq is your friend html docs in /usr/share/doc/ntp* are extensive and
hard to wade thru but the ntpq stuff is a good one to read at first
