You can use the following command to check if it's enabled:
ntpdate -q
chkconfig --list | grep ntpd
If all the columns are 'off', then it's not enabled.
You can use the following command to enable NTP:
yum install ntpd chkconfig ntpd on
Then use the following command to start it:
service ntpd start
You can check if the time is in sync using:
ntpq -p
It will display a list of servers and the server which is currently synced should be prepended by a '*'. For example:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *barricade.rack9 209.51.161.238 2 u 1001 1024 377 31.147 -0.369 20.074 +ip-72-167-42-82 204.123.2.5 2 u 754 1024 377 166.388 -29.692 28.223 +cheezum.mattnor 129.7.1.66 2 u 91 1024 377 45.715 1.504 47.753
In this case the host's time is synced with arricade.rack9.
