Mpd is a netgraph(4) based implementation of the multi-link PPP
protocol for FreeBSD. It is designed to be both fast and flexible.
It handles configuration and negotiation in user land, while routing
all data packets strictly in the kernel. It supports several of
the numerous PPP sub-protocols and extensions, such as:
Multi-link PPP capability
PAP, CHAP, and MS-CHAP authentication
PPP compression and encryption
Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP)
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
RADIUS (authentication and accounting)
Mpd also includes many additional features:
Dial-on-demand with idle timeout
Multiple active connections running simultaneously
Dynamic demand based link management (also known as ``rubber bandwidth'')
Powerful chat scripting language for asynchronous serial ports
Pre-tested chat scripts for several common modems and ISDN TAs
Clean device-type independent design
Comprehensive logging

Fix a few "bad example" problems in the rc.d scripts that have been
propogated by copy and paste.
1. Primarily the "empty variable" default assignment, which is mostly
${name}_flags="", but fix a few others as well.
2. Where they are not already documented, add the existence of the _flags
(or other deleted empties) option to the comments, and in some cases add
comments from scratch.
3. Replace things that look like:
prefix=%%PREFIX%%
command=${prefix}/sbin/foo
to just use %%PREFIX%%. In many cases the $prefix variable is only used
once, and in some cases it is not used at all.
4. In a few cases remove ${name}_flags from command_args
5. Remove a long-stale comment about putting the port's rc.d script in
/etc/rc.d (which is no longer necessary).
No PORTREVISION bumps because all of these changes are noops.
* Use USE_RC_SUBR instead of custom hacks which did not seem to work correctly
* Fix typo in the startup script

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.
Now that new style rc.d scripts are being run as part of the
base rcorder, hard coded variable values in these scripts
are overriding the values in /etc/rc.conf[.local] (due to
the way that variables from the latter are read at boot time).
Therefore, change the boot scripts to set default values only
if the variable is unset in /etc/rc.conf[.local]. This will
allow the service to start at boot time if it's been enabled
as the user would expect.
This change will be a noop for users who have systems that
have not yet been upgraded to the new rc.d code in the base.
In many cases there are other variables in the scripts that
should get similar treatment, however I did not change
anything other than the _enable lines. I'll leave the rest
up to the maintainers to do as they see fit.
Bump PORTREVISION to make sure that users and packages
pick up this change.
