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 ============================================================================== +cheezum.mattnor 24.56.178.140 2 u 803 1024 377 79.195 -39.637 7.575 *dione.cbane.org 66.220.9.122 2 u 844 1024 377 34.034 -41.063 8.513 LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 10 l 45 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.004
