yes, you often want to run multiple nfcapd collectors and rc.d(8), which is kept simple on purpose, can't handle this type of situation directly. > Is nfcapd supposed to be run from rc.local? that's one option. another is to use it with nfsen, which does have an rc.d script; nfsen starts nfcapd instances for you according to your config. > Also, the -u and -g options of nfcapd do not seem to work: > while the _nfcapd user and group are created by the package, > nfcapd simply does not start if I try to use -u or -g. > (Without it, it runs just fine). I don't recall the full details, but this seems to work fine when setup using nfsen. This reminds me, I have an update for this to commit ;)
