[mrtg] Re: migration from NT to Linux

[Scheidel, Greg]

"For Excel"?  If you happen to be using Excel to process this, Ok, but it
works just as with a calculator, pen and paper, or converting it on the
Linux box.

The logfile should be the same, yes.  All I'm saying is that if I take the
date of 949075089 on my Linux box and process it I get Fri Jan 28 10:58AM
EST 2000.  If I convert 949075089 using the formula given in MRTG's doc
logfile-format I get a different result.  If I convert it with the formula
that I listed I get the correct date/time.  Regardless of whether I use
Excel, a calculator, or pen and paper.

If there may be some sort of problem with my Linux box that is causing this,
feel free to point it out.

I still don't see what any of this has to do with migrating from NT
to unix.

First of all, the logfile should be the same as far as I know.
Secondly, above formula is for excel, not for unix timestamps.

On both NT and unix, the date/time mentioned above should result in
949075080.
