Ipmon & security log rotation

[Gareth Bailey]

The -D flag tells it to run as daemon. Starting ipmon with
ipmon_flags="-D /var/log/security" in rc.conf works fine.
It logs to security as required. The problem comes in when
the /var/log/security file is rotated by newsyslog. After
this occurs, logging stop all together even though ipmon is
still running!

Thanks
Gareth
