You know. This happens once a year, and as a result I can never find the time to resolve it. One trick that people do on their systems is to keep the system timezone in GMT where there is no DST happening. Outside of that, this keeps slipping off my radar screen, and it's just once a year so the priority stays low from my perspective.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Thank you for the quick response. I will consider the trick that you mention.
