>Description:
by default ipmon gets started with '-ns' plus '-D' due the
command_args in /etc/rc.conf/ipmon. that's ok until you change the ipmon_flags
to something like '-n /var/log/ipf.log', then the '-D' in /etc/rc.d/ipmon gets
overridden, because the filename must be the last argument, and ipmon doesnt start in daemon mode.
>How-To-Repeat:
set the ipmon_flags in /etc/rc.conf to '-n ipf.log' and enter
/etc/rc.d/ipmon restart
>Fix:
/etc/rc.d/ipmon
- command_args="-D"
/etc/defaults/rc.conf
- ipmon=NO ipmon_flags="-ns"
+ ipmon=NO ipmon_flags="-Dns"
