      Hi,

      During boot sequence of pfSense 2.0 I see this message:
      Starting device manager (devd)…pfSctl Could not connect to server
      Why this message ? What is the problem ?

      Best Regards

            pfSctl is a client program that connects to check_reload_status and issues various commands, like a command to reload the filter, etc.

            It's possible that in some cases something tries to trigger one of those actions before check_reload_status is ready, but at bootup it's not a big deal since it will happen as soon as possible anyhow.
