netflow tools - Dec 2008 - netflow problem

Hi, I have install
flowd-0.9.1,<http://www.mindrot.org/files/flowd/flowd-0.9.1.tar.gz>

I have some problems running flowd, when I run flowd with -d option this is
the output:

read_config: entering
child_get_config: entering
drop_privs: dropping privs without chroot
send_config: entering fd = 4
send_config: done
child_get_config: child config done
recv_config: entering fd = 3
recv_config: ready to receive config

init_pfd: entering (num_fds = 0)
init_pfd: done (num_fds = 3)
client_open_log: entering
receive_fd: recvmsg: Connection reset by peer

Anyone can help me?

Hi,

It looks like the directory that flowd is trying to create a pid file
in does not exist. Try setting pidfile "/var/run/flowd.pid" in
flowd.conf
or somesuch.

-d
