I'm a bit concerned as I can't reproduce the problem on a freshly installed 
6.3. Currently I'm rebuilding *all* ports on the system (the cacti server 
itself is the problem, not the clients) and if that doesn't help I will 
rebuild the userland, too.

When you upgraded your servers it would be nice to know if it worked for 
you, or not. I did the upgrade using freebsd-update.
