Ok. In your original mail, the permissions were different ...

> $ ps ax |grep pflog
> 25478  ??  Is     0:00.01 pflogd: [priv] (pflogd)
> 25479  ??  S      0:00.03 pflogd: [suspended] -s 116 -f /var/log/pflog (pflogd)
> 25561  p0  S+     0:00.01 grep pflog
>
> Not really sure what is going on. I tried:
> kill -HUP 25479

I would suggest asking this question on the freebsd-pf mailing list then. 
They can help better I guess.

Thanks,
Rakhesh
