Pfflowd - Service Won't Start Since Latest Update
-
I have been having an issue with some firewalling, and was going to do some troubleshooting this morning, but it seems like I haven't gotten any exports from the pfflowd package since my upgrade to 2.2-Rel on Jan 26. Is anyone else running 2.2-Rel and pfflowd package v.0.8 pkg v1.0.2? Is there another package that replaced it for NetFlow-type flow monitoring and reporting? I have rebooted both systems, and reinstalled the package with the same result (all config looks fine).
Thanks.

So, for reference, I see these system log messages when trying to start pfflowd:
pfflowd[18497]: pfflowd listening on pfsync0
kernel: pfsync0: promiscuous mode enabled
pfflowd[18561]: pfflowd listening on pfsync0
pfflowd[18497]: Unsupported pfsync version 5, exiting
pfflowd[18561]: Unsupported pfsync version 5, exiting
kernel: pfsync0: promiscuous mode disabled -
So, I downgraded one system to 2.2-RC and still have the same problem with pfflowd. Seems like the latest package update broke something. I always get the error message pfflowd[7986]: Unsupported pfsync version 5, exiting when trying to start the service. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Looks like FreeBSD 10.1 has newer pfsync protocol, which is not compatible with the previous version used on pfSense 2.1:
From: pfsync(4)
The pfsync protocol and kernel implementation were significantly modified in FreeBSD 9.0. The newer protocol is not compatible with older one and will not interoperate with it. -
Well, that's sort of good news. At least it's not just me doing something wrong.

Any way to fix this? Should this package even be listed as the 2.2 platform?
