Hi.
The problem is your mrtg config files had the option "bits" set. So when MRTG
gets the values from the logs (they are in bytes), it multiplies them by 8 to
show them in the graph (in bits).
So all you have to do is change the log2rrd perl code to multiply the values it
receives from the file.log by 8.
