    I have recently built cflowd on FreeBSD, but cannot get cflowdmux to
    start. I am receiving the following syslog messages on starting
    cflowdmux:

    ======================================================================
    Sep 27 11:35:21 mfvg-test2 cflowdmux[36714]: [E]
       shmget(ftok("/home/cgaylord/cflowd/etc/cflowd.conf",0),
          10489856,IPC_CREAT|S_IRWXU|S_IRGRP|S_IROTH)
       failed: No such file or directory {CflowdPacketQueue.cc:241}

    Sep 27 11:35:21 mfvg-test2 cflowdmux[36714]: [A]
       g_packetQueue.Create("/home/cgaylord/cflowd/etc/cflowd.conf",10485760)
       failed: No such file or directory {cflowdmux.cc:454}

    Sep 27 11:35:21 mfvg-test2 cflowdmux[36714]: [A] failed to create
       packet queue! Exiting. {cflowdmux.cc:456}
    ======================================================================

    I have looked through ClowdPacketQueue.cc and cflowdmux.cc to try to
    discern what file is being created, but cannot tease it out. Any
    assistance would be apprecited.

    Thank you.
