The bug is descripted in brazilfw firewall and redhat 7.2, but in iptraf 3.0 too.
Creating /var/run/iptraf or /var/lib/iptraf no resolve the bug.
Reinstalling iptraf yes, but, in every reboot reinstall iptraf is no correct.

Comment 2 xset1980 2011-08-29 08:48:42 UTC 
[SOLVED]:

The bug is present in older versions of iptraf (rhel56), the bug is the system f15, is not present /var/lock/iptraf directory.
The guide of iptraf say about this message:

Warning: unable to tag this process


 IPTraf normally tags itself when it runs to prevent multiple instances of the statistical facilities from running. This message means the program was unable to create the necessary tag file. This may be due to a bad or improper installation. Try running the make install procedure or the Setup in the distribution's top-level directory.

So, iptraf any version find the /var/lock/iptraf/ directory for create iptrag.tag file, if the director is created:

mkdir -p /var/lock/iptraf the problem is solved.

Suggestion:

iptraf obviously was compiled properly, the problem is that the rpm installation does not create the directory to be in Fedora 15, or does not exist. Please recreate a new rpm iptraf be possible that in your installation create /var/lock/iptraf

Greetings

Sorry, the bug is persistent.
After create /var/lock/iptraf and reboot the bug is again present:

Bug in Debian http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=170802
Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2011-09-15 15:04:15 UTC 
iptraf needs to put the following into /etc/tmpfiles.d/ipraf:
d /var/lock/iptraf 0755 root root

To get systemd to create the /var/lock/iptraf directory on boot.
