Searched the archives and found other mentions of this error but no
solution. I have a Solaris 8 server with the Hobbit client reporting to the
Hobbit server, and everything works except the netstat trend graph. I made
sure Hobbit generates the netstat.rrd file itself, and verified that it has
the correct fields:

$ rrdtool dump netstat.rrd |grep "<name>"

                <name> udpInDatagrams </name>
                <name> udpOutDatagrams </name>
                <name> udpInErrors </name>
                <name> tcpActiveOpens </name>
                <name> tcpPassiveOpens </name>
                <name> tcpAttemptFails </name>
                <name> tcpEstabResets </name>
                <name> tcpCurrEstab </name>
                <name> tcpOutDataBytes </name>
                <name> tcpInInorderBytes </name>
                <name> tcpInUnorderBytes </name>
                <name> tcpRetransBytes </name>
                <name> tcpOutDataPackets </name>
                <name> tcpInInorderPackets </name>
                <name> tcpInUnorderPackets </name>
                <name> tcpRetransPackets </name>

But viewing a debug output of rrd-data.log shows that something is making it
think there should only be 11 fields:

Where is "param 03" coming from? From some configuration on the client side?
