OK, I have upgraded my nfsen and nfdump to the latest snapshot and am
getting the same error that started this discussion. Unfortunately, I have
read through this thread several times and am still having difficulty.
(Sorry for being slow). I have verified permissions on nfsen.comm and have
changed it to both my netflow account and the web account with no luck. I
am still getting
ERROR: nfsend connect() error: No such file or directory!
ERROR: nfsend - connection failed!!
ERROR: Can not initialize globals!
Can someone spell out what is causing my problem and how to resolve it.
Thanks for the help.
