rrd files contain data that is averaged as time progresses and new entries get inserted. You can't add data with timestamps older than the most recent data already in the file. That error message, alas, is unclear for this case. You can still build your graphs, but you have to feed the log files to FlowScan in chronological order. Delete the rrd files and start from scratch, making sure that FlowScan sees the oldest flow file first. _______________________________________________ Flow-tools mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.splintered.net/mailman/listinfo/flow-tools
