Hi, I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 with collectd 5.3.0 and running collectd with collectdmon. Every few hours (sometimes only a few minutes after a restart), my /etc/collectd/collectd.conf is overwritten by a default version of this file.
These changes are close in time to some collectd restarts. In this example the file was written 1 minute after the last collectd restart: root@eu4:/etc/collectd# ls -ld collectd.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16457 May 23 13:37 collectd.conf May 23 13:36:11 ns2281597 collectd[27197]: Exiting normally.

Any way to prevent this file being overwritten? Thanks! -- Joaquin Cuenca Abela
