Hi all, Somehow pfflowd 0.7 doesn''t want to run as a daemon on an openbsd 3.9 box. It does run with the debug option (-D) enabled, but that generates a huge amount of extra output/syslog stuff etc. Any ideas?

I found the problem already by looking at /var/log/messages: i didn''t create a _pfflowd user and as such it couldn''t chroot....maybe an idea to put that in the accompanying README file in future releases.
