[Tobias Oetiker]

Today you sent me mail regarding [mrtg] Problem with test y2k:

*> 
*> I' ve changed the date to my from 22/12/99 to 01/01/2000 for one day.
*> Then I tried to bring it back to the correct date and now I receive the
*> following error. Is there any solution ??
*> 
*> 
*> Your "cron" job on hermes
*> /usr/local/MRTG-bin/mrtg /usr/local/MRTG-bin/mrtg.cfg
*> 
*> produced the following output:
*> 
*> Rateup ERROR: /usr/local/MRTG-bin//rateup found that 195.130.100.1.1's log file
*> time of 946761002 was greater than now (945944401)
*> ERROR: Let's not do the time warp, again. Logfile unchanged.

YES, restore from backup ... MRTG does not like being moved back in time ... 

Never run your Y2K tests on a REAL system unless it is the ultimate test ...
but this one is still a few days away ... 

cheers
