Description Miroslav Miklus 2013-02-08 11:19:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

There is defined:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/conntrackd -d -C /etc/conntrackd/conntrackd.conf
in file /usr/lib/systemd/system/conntrackd.service

Systemd starts conntrackd with -d option and contrackd tries to daemonize itself, but the damonization should be done by systemd not conntrackd, the fix is to remove the "-d" option:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/conntrackd -C /etc/conntrackd/conntrackd.conf
