[smokeping-users] smokeping and summer time

[Michal BULIK]

thanks for your help. this means that I should
search elsewhere. I have found nothing in the
log files. is it possible to increase the verbosity
of smokeping ?

otherwise I'll wait for the summer time (end of march) ;-)

thanks again,
michal
