Are the clients running ntp? If they are
ntpq -p name.of.client
will tell you what the offset was on the last query they made to the
server.
If they are not, then I do not know.
Now if they are running ntp they are trying their best ( as defined by the
ntp algorithm) to keep their time equal to the server's. Why do you want to
know?
