Hi all,

I just installed Zeek 3.0.3-dev.3 under two OpenBSD 6.6 amd64 vms (one as worker and another as a manager). All seems to work ok but no packet is captured by Zeek worker. In logs directory, there are only the following files:

total 100

drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 7 21:50 ./

drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 512 Mar 7 21:50 …/

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 137 Mar 7 21:42 .cmdline

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 350 Mar 7 21:42 .env\_vars

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 6 Mar 7 21:42 .pid

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 58 Mar 7 21:42 .startup

-rwx------ 1 root wheel 18 Mar 7 21:42 .status\*

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 401 Mar 7 21:43 cluster.log

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 30276 Mar 7 21:43 loaded\_scripts.log

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 856 Mar 7 21:53 stats.log

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 0 Mar 7 21:42 stderr.log

-rw-r–r-- 1 root wheel 140 Mar 7 21:43 stdout.log

No one shows any error. Same for the spool directory … Running tcpdump in worker node works without problem and I can see all the traffic …

Any idea?
