Hi list,

this is a fresh installation of nfsen 1.3.5 (and nfdump 1.6.1-1) on 
Debian squeeze on a IPv6-only host (or so I planned), and

softflowd 0.9.8-3 on another squeeze host.

Flow information is being collected (as softflowctl statistics shows).

On the monitored host, my /etc/default/softflowd reads:
   OPTIONS="-t expint=30 -v 9 -n [a:b:c:d::2000:1001]:9980

resulting in a fine UDP connection that can be verified with netstat 
-uan on both hosts. However, the nfcap files contain no flows.

-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data   276 Nov  4 09:05 nfcapd.201111040900
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data   276 Nov  4 09:10 nfcapd.201111040905
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data   276 Nov  4 09:15 nfcapd.201111040910

On the other hand, if I switch to collecting via ipv4, as in
   /etc/default/softflowd:
   OPTIONS="-t expint=30 -v 9 -n 10.10.20.1:9980"

everything is fine and good and well.

Now, the man page for nfcapd lists certain options regarding listening 
on IPv4 or IPv6 udp connections. So, I believe I should simply add a 
"-6" to the command line. I suppose that should be done in
nfsen/etc/nfsen.conf but I cannot find the right place.

Where can I define further options to nfcapd ?

Thanks in advance,
Erwin
