Bbmrtg.sh has this in it, but I don't know how to determine what it's doing and why it's reporting the error.

This may not be directly Hobbit related, but...

I get the message "Time stamp in log is on the future !" on each of my MRTG pages. I was not getting this when running bigbrother, so I'm wondering what would cause this or if there is something I can do to keep that from appearing. MRTG is working fine, just this annoying message.

No idea, really.

It would have been nice to know *which* logfile holds this futuristic timestamp. Any mention of that ? Any output from the mrtg cron-job ?
