4.1.2 is a bit old; you should at least upgrade to 4.1.2p2 since there
are a couple of security related bugs in the original 4.1.2.
Ok I can try.
It doesn't affect the problem you have, though. Is this Debian 3.1
(Sarge) ?
Yes exact. My machine is alphaserver 4100 (rawhide).

/usr/local/hobbit/data/rrd/wva-svalpha2/netstat.rrd: min must be less 
than 
max in DS definition
That's a new one. What rrdtool version do you have ? "rrdtool --version"
I have version rrdtool-1.2.10.
I wanted to upgrade to version rrdtool-1.2.15, but there is another 
problem
compiling it.

I still work on that.
Could you try adding the "--debug" option to the hobbitd_rrd commandline
in the ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg ? It will then print out the
exact parameters it uses for creating the RRD files, like this:
Yes I did. And I run that command:

./rrdtool create /tmp/tcp.orarns.tcp 'DS:sec:GAUGE:600:0:U' 
'RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:576'
ERROR: min must be less than max in DS definition

having the same problem.

Hobbit and rrd were runnung month's before without any problem.

I changed the kernel from 2.4.X to 2.6.8 and installed some
security patches.
I don't know exactly when, but somewhere after rdd stopped running.
