Re: [hobbit] No graph for negative clock offset

["Ralph Mitchell" <ralphmitchell (at) gmail.com>]

Judging by the man page, negative values are OK.  The first entry in the
EXAMPLE section of "man rrdcreate" reads:

          rrdtool create temperature.rrd --step 300 \
             DS:temp:GAUGE:600:-273:5000 \
             RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:1200 \
             RRA:MIN:0.5:12:2400 \
             RRA:MAX:0.5:12:2400 \
             RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:2400

         This sets up an RRD called temperature.rrd which accepts one
tempera-
         ture value every 300 seconds. If no new data is supplied for more
than
         600 seconds, the temperature becomes *UNKNOWN*.  The minimum
acceptable
         value is -273 and the maximum is 5'000.
