[mrtg] MRTG with RRD tool using 14all.cgi script

[Kevin P. Foote]

Can't speak for .log files.. but, your using rrd files anyway.

To make use of a different sampling time I believe you will have to reconfig 
all of your rrd files. Export then import into new rr files configured
correctly for your new step interval.

There are threads on this same topic at the rrd lists archives. Might
want to check them out if your still interested.
