I'm working on getting p0f integrated with amavisd-new. Everything is 
great, with the exception that I can't get the neccessary commands to 
execute on boot.

I started with rc.local and that didn't work. So I made this simple script 
in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/p0f:

---

#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: p0f
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# BEFORE:  securelevel
# KEYWORD: shutdown


. "/etc/rc.subr"

name="p0f"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`

command="/usr/local/bin/p0f"
command_args="-l 'tcp dst port 25' 2>&1 | /usr/local/bin/p0f-analyzer.pl 2345 &"
pidfile="/var/run/$name.pid"

# read configuration and set defaults
load_rc_config "$name"
: ${p0f_enable="NO"}

run_rc_command "$1"

It does not execute on boot (yes, it's executable). It executes just fine 
by hand.

I'm assuming it has something to do with redirecting stdout and stderr to 
another script which is then shoved into the background? 

How do I work around this?

(BTW, FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #2: Wed May 12 13:28:18 EDT 2010)

Thanks,
