FAQ for remstats
    This is only a proto-FAQ, with stuff I couldn't figure out where to
    document.

    1 snmp-collector complains that I don't have SNMP_Session installed, but
    I don't want SNMP. Do I have to collect and install it?
        No you don't. Modify the "collectors" line in the general
        config-file to exclude snmp.

    2 I modified the RRD definition, adding a new RRA, but remstats is
    ignoring it. How do I do this?
        Sorry. At the moment, remstats won't propagate any changes to the
        RRD structure after creation. Some changes, like extending RRAs and
        changing min/max for DSs can be done manually with rrdtool. If you
        do use rrdtool manually, I recommend that you modify the rrd
        definition as well, to keep them in sync. At some point in the
        future, I'd like to try to do this kind of update, and it's more
        likely to succeed if remstats' rrd definition matches what's in the
        actual RRD.
