[collectd] How to deal with clock-skews? Overriding at the receiver / rrd?

Hello,

we're gathering statistics in a wifi mesh network. Since no wifi-device
has a hardware clock surviving reboots, clock skews happen.

Example:
Node ----Wifi mesh----> collectd-Server

Is there a way to correct clock skews while writing the rrd-files on the
server? Ie, detecting the concrete skew or overriding all timestamps
using server time?

Thanks,
Jan
