I apparently your CPU doesn't have any speed-stepping feature (or
something like that). If you don't load the plugin, you won't get this
message..

If collectd is run as root, is does a `chgrp' after creating the UNIX
domain socket, so unprivileged processes may access it. Configure a
group that exists here and you'll be fine.

Ugh, that's not good.. The number in the configfile is parsed as a
floating point number which is an illegal port (/service). Since you're
using the default port just comment that line. I'll fix this in the next
patch release.

Apparently `/usr/local/stow/collectd-4.0.0/var/run/collectd-unixsock'
still exists. Did the daemon crash before or something? Normally the
file should be removed during shutdown.

Same problem as above.

Do you get any warnings/errors in the servers error-log?
