Hi Radek,

I put together a guide on how to use nfdump/nfsen on FreeBSD a year or so
ago.
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/49724/

It also includes details on how to make FreeBSD the netflow exporter - skip
this it it is not what you're trying to achieve.

I haven't had a look to see if it solves your exact problem. Perhaps have a
read through that and see if it helps?

Good luck,
Ben
