18: <p>If you use the FreeBSD package or port, mpd will be
19: automatically installed
20: into <code>/usr/local/sbin/mpd5</code>.
21: with the default set of device types compiled into it.
22: In order to run, mpd needs
23: a few configuration files. The directory
24: <code>/usr/local/etc/mpd5</code> is created
25: to hold them.
26: In it you will find some sample configuration files.</p>
27: <p>Before you can run mpd, you must set up your site-specific
28: configuration files. These files are:
29: <dl>
30:
31: <dt><b> <b><code>mpd.conf</code></b></b><dd><p>This file defines one or more <b>configurations</b>.
32: When mpd is invoked, you specify the name of a
33: configuration on the command line. This configuration
34: (which merely consists of a series of mpd commands) is loaded.
35: If no configuration is given, 'default' configuration
36: is loaded.</p>
37:
38: <p>Each configuration defines one or more bundles, links and repeaters.
39: They can be defined with the <b><code>create</code></b> command.
40: Subsequent commands in the configuration configure the various
41: layers for that item.</p>
42:
43: <dt><b> <b><code>mpd.secret</code></b></b><dd><p>This file contains login, password pairs. This is where
44: mpd looks to find all authentication information. This
45: file should be readable only by <code>root</code>.</p>
46:
47: <dt><b> <b><code>mpd.script</code></b></b><dd><p>This file contains chat scripts for modem devices.</p>
