The -D flag tells it to run as daemon. Starting ipmon with ipmon_flags="-D /var/log/security" in rc.conf works fine. It logs to security as required. The problem comes in when the /var/log/security file is rotated by newsyslog. After this occurs, logging stop all together even though ipmon is still running!
