MPD MULTI-LINK PPP DAEMON FOR FREEBSD Version 5.9 Written by Archie Cobbs and Alexander Motin * WHAT IS IT? A multi-link PPP daemon based on netgraph(4), combining the configurability and flexibility of a user-mode with the speed and reliability of a kernel-mode. Mpd supports thousands of Sync, Async, PPTP, L2TP, PPPoE, TCP and UDP links in client, server and access concentrator (LAC/PAC) modes. * HOW STABLE IS IT? Most of this code has been thoroughly tested and production ready. * HOW DO I BUILD AND INSTALL IT? cd /usr/ports/net/mpd5 make all install * HOW DO I SET IT UP? Complete documentation is included in the "doc" subdirectory. You will need to create your own versions of the four required configuration files in /usr/local/etc/mpd5: mpd.conf - General configuration mpd.script - Modem scripts mpd.secret - Login/password pairs If you're familiar with FreeBSD's "ppp" user-mode daemon, the configuration method is similar: commands are read from a file. Check the "conf" subdirectory for configuration file examples. Then append the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf and create an empty /var/log/mpd.log file to get proper logging: !mpd *.* /var/log/mpd.log Add a corresponding line to /etc/newsyslog.conf as well to get proper log rotation. * WHAT'S THE COPYRIGHT STATUS? Berkeley style: see ``COPYRIGHT.iij'' and ``COPYRIGHT.whistle''. * WHERE CAN I GO FOR HELP? MPD is now hosted on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpd
