Random man page:  pppoesd(1m) -- PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) server daemon
pppoesd performs the server side discovery phase functionalities of PPPoE as mentioned in RFC 2516. The pppoesd daemon responds to PADI and PADR packets from clients if it can offer services desired by the client. pppoesd generates a unique session-id for every client that it services. It then forks a pppd daemon which performs the session phase functionalities of PPPoE as mentioned in RFC 2516.
FreeBSD Tip Of the Day View all tips
You can install extra packages for FreeBSD by using the ports system.
If you have installed it, you can download, compile, and install software by
just typing

	# cd /usr/ports//
	# make install && make clean

as root.   The ports infrastructure will download the software, change it so
it works on FreeBSD, compile it, install it, register the installation so it
will be possible to automatically uninstall it, and clean out the temporary
working space it used.  You can remove an installed port you decide you do not
want after all by typing

	# cd /usr/ports//
	# make deinstall

as root.
