Look at the messages in /var/log/daemon.log

You should really use servers that are local to you, this minimizes
network delays and gives you a better time. A good choice might be
pool.XX.ntp.org
where XX is your two-letter country code. Most people will not have
to worry about the quality of the time service, it's adequate for
almost all purposes. On some servers I've messed around with adjtimex
just to see what can be done (and quite a bit can be done) but I've
never really needed to do it.
Here's my /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf:
8<-------------------------------------------
server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org
8<-------------------------------------------
Check out the ntp Website for more information.
