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? Jan
