I am showing no divert listener for the Suricata package despite following
the package documentation and the listener itself being referenced in the
Suricata log output.  This prevents IPS functionality from working.


OpenBSD 7.8 GENERIC.MP#1 amd64 (with latest patchset applied via syspatch)


pkg_info suricata

Information for inst:suricata-7.0.7p0

Per package docs -d flag is set via:

rcctl set suricata flags -d 700

Suricata shows as running with appropriate flags:

 ps ax | grep suricata

16254 ??  Sp       0:49.10 /usr/local/bin/suricata -D -d 700

Suricata logs reference port 700 listener and show no errors:
