Are you sure it got started? Look for scanlogd in /etc/rc.config, and doublecheck. To start it manually do: rcscanlogd start, and try portscanning yourself again.
It got started, and it has PID 483.
I will let you know if I find out something I am doing wrong.
And nothing appears in /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/warn?
In the man pages, it says I got to add the following lines to syslog.conf : daemon.alert /var/log/alert
I did that, and /var/log/alert is empty!
