This is by design and is documented in the configuration guide;
section names must match /[-_0-9a-zA-Z]+/. The period character is
used as a hierarchy separator in the web front end, and thus cannot be
used in individual names.<br>

<div>Is there a way to increase the timer?</div>

Yes; change the probe options. See

<div>And rrdtools did not get installed when I did the apt-get

<div>I also had to go into the smokeping.cgi and set the lib pointer

Squeeze is in 'testing' for a reason. ;) File a bug report with the
package maintainers.<br>
