Hm, setting the flow sender to 127.0.0.1 solved it
$ cat /etc/hostname.pflow0
flowsrc 127.0.0.1 flowdst 127.0.0.1:9995 pflowproto 5
That is, nfscapd didn't see any flows if the reports
were comming from 0.0.0.0; now that flowsrc is specified,
so the reports come from 127.0.0.1, everything is OK.
Is that intended?
