Hi,

I sent this email to the maintainer of net/flowd some months ago but
didn't get a reply.  Below is also a patch that fixes the PLIST file.

cheers,
Nickus

Hi Jakob,

I just installed the flowd-0.8.5 package from the snapshot directory.
When I try to start /usr/local/sbin/flowd it reports the following
error in /var/log/daemon

Aug 31 11:16:42 cognac flowd[29382]: chdir(/nonexistent): No such file
or directory

The passwd entry sets a home directory of /nonexistent as the default
for the flowd user but that doesn't exist. I set it to /var/empty as
the other daemon users and that makes flowd start.

cheers,
Nickus
