      I have been trying to get pfflowd to run on my 1.2.3-RC3 installation without success.  I have searched and read through this post regarding the same issue - http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,14836.0.html  However I did not have the same success as kalidin.  I have followed his process and solution, but still cannot get the pfflowd service to start.

      Regarding the startup script mentioned, mine looks likes this:

      #!/bin/sh
      # $FreeBSD: ports/net/pfflowd/files/pfflowd.in,v 1.1 2008/05/26 09:51:09 rafan Exp $
      #
      
      # PROVIDE: pfflowd
      # REQUIRE: LOGIN
      
      #
      # Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable pfflowd:
      #
      # pfflowd_enable="YES"
      # pfflowd_host="<host>:<port>"
      #
      # DO NOT CHANGE THESE DEFAULT VALUES HERE
      #
      
      . /etc/rc.subr
      
      name=pfflowd
      rcvar=`set_rcvar`
      
      load_rc_config $name
      
      # set defaults
      
      pfflowd_enable=${pfflowd_enable:-"NO"}
      pfflowd_host=${pfflowd_host:-"127.0.0.1:2055"}
      
      command=/usr/local/sbin/pfflowd
      command_args="-n ${pfflowd_host}"
      extra_commands=reload
      
      stop_postcmd=stop_postcmd
      
      stop_postcmd()
      {
        rm -f $pidfile
      }
      
      pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
      
      run_rc_command "$1"</port></host> 
      

      I am no BSD/Linux expert at all, but the line regrading adding the lines to rc.conf to enable pfflowd catches my eye.  And of course I can't find that file, because it appears it has been renamed to rc.start_packages - at leas the same code is there as referenced by kalidin.  So, I am curious if I need to add these lines to this file?  And if so, where?  ???

      Any help is appreciated.  Please…..?
