>Description:
After starting the shellinabox, /var/run/ did not have .pid file but ps -ax would show that the program was running.
Client side:
The browser would display a login prompt.  As soon as the user name has been entered, it closed the session.

example:
mail1 login: username                                                                                                                   
Session closed.                                                                                                                         



/etc/rc.conf

shellinaboxd_enable="YES"
shellinaboxd_port="8022"
shellinaboxd_certdir="/usr/local/etc/shellinabox"

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/www/shellinabox/
make
make install

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/shellinaboxd start

ls /var/run/

ps -ax | grep shellinaboxd
>Fix:
Partial fix:
If I run the program from the command line, it works without a problem.

Working command line:
/usr/local/bin/shellinaboxd --user=shellinabox --group=shellinabox --port=8022 --background=/var/run/shellinaboxd.pid --cert=/usr/local/etc/shellinabox

Client side:

login: username                                                                                                                   
Password:

Welcome to FreeBSD!...etc


NOTE:  When it is working, only "login:" appears not "<host> login:".

Something in the rc starting sequence that I cannot find.  I hope this helps.
