I'm having a problem with ipmon on startup, here are the relevant /etc/rc.conf settings: ipfilter_enable="YES" ipfilter_rules="/etc/ipf.rules" ipfilter_flags="" ipmon_enable="YES" ipmon_flags="-Dv -P /var/run/ipmon.pid /var/log/firewall" When I reboot the machine and check /var/run, there is no ipmon.pid file. Killing ipmon and restarting with the flags in ipmon_flags then starts it correctly with the pid file created. I noticed this problem when newsyslog was e-mailing me with the following error: newsyslog: can't open /var/run/ipmon.pid pid file to restart a daemon: No such file or directory newsyslog: log /var/log/firewall not compressed because daemon not notified Any reason why the pid file doesn't get created when the system starts up?
