...... I deleted the whole thing and started again, unfortunately i'm 
unable to reproduce the error now (duh)...
but i'll try it again at home to find the problem. Although I'm starting 
to think it was my mistake...
Now I'm stuck with this:

rrdtool graph image.png -s -1d --imgformat PNG 
DEF:in=sample.rrd:inOctets:AVERAGE CDEF:inBits=in,8,* 
VDEF:inMaxBits=inBits,MAXIMUM GPRINT:inMaxBits:%lf

always gives me:

ERROR: bad format for GPRINT in 'lf'

tried enclosing in double quotes, tried copying the example, tried ""...

any tip?

thanks...


By the way, why doesn't this list has a "reply-to" field?
