 What I did was I moved the *.log and *.old files to another directory and
ran mrtg on the conf file and the daily is starting to track again (
although I lost todays stuff...not a big deal)

take your old logs (not the .old files, those are just backups)
open it up in your editor of choice, and remove the top line.

then look at the second line. there is a number, then 4 columns.

the number is the "timestamp". when that timestamp is newer than "now" mrtg
will skip it. once "now" catches up to that date, it'll continue on normally.
