netflow tools - Aug 2006 - pfflowd doesn't run except under debug

pfflowd will not stay running on my system unless it is started using
the ''-D'' switch. Using ''-d'' it exits
immediately with a return code of
1, and with no switches it silently exits immediately with a code of
0. Have tried on two different systems, GENERIC and a custom kernel.

pfflowd-0.7

Are you sure that you don''t have an error message like:

Unable to find unprivileged user "_pfflowd"

In your logs?
