Yes:

[root at frontend_light ~]# ps -Af | grep ntpd
ntp       1946     1  0 12:56 ?        00:00:00 ntpd -x -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
root      2608  2458  0 14:08 pts/0    00:00:00 grep ntpd

Ok, I did that. Got lot's of information on the screen. I don't
understand most of it... :(  The output is attached.

There's a strange message inside:

recvmsg(21, 0xbff67df4, 0)              = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

I don't think it's normal.
But I can't also say it's something that is causing the problem...
