yes it should show the servers you connect with.

Maybe your config file is messed up somehow, maybe you can show us the
contents.

OK, I may be wrong again. If I start ntpd by hand on my gateway/firewall
system it does indeed start and I am able to sync to that system from the
other client systems on my network but when I do a ntpq on it and type
"peers" the only thing listed there is the LOCAL (0) one. Unless I am
mistaken it should also list the two other ntp servers I have configured in
the ntp.conf file. Right?

how can I tell what time they are synced to?
