There is no such thing as ISC NTP.

You are probably using the NTP Reference Implementation from
www.ntp.org.

ntpd is a daemon. So it does not produce output on the console.

You have to look in your syslog for ntpd related messages or your ntp
log (if you have that configured). Use 'ntpq -p' to see the peerstatus
billboard for your ntpd.
