Also, change the way uptime is captured. The mpd console is no longer used to
get PPP uptime data, which will prevent spamming of PPP logs with console access messages.
This means we no longer have to write out mpd_<interface>.query files to /var/etc.
Now, a simple calculation of the age of the /tmp/<interface>up file is used. This
gives the same data within the second as the console data so it seems acceptable.
I removed some "rm -f" calls from ppp-linkdown as there was already code in interfaces.inc
interface_bring_down function that unlinks the <interface>up and <interface>_router files.
There is still the rm -r nameserver_<interface> call in the linkdown script. Maybe this should
be moved to the interfac_bring_down function for consistency? Also, I commented out the
ngctl shutdown <interface>: call. I think it's probably not necessary any more.
The interface configure function is called after "write_config()" because
we must write the new data to the config before reading the config to
bring up the interface with the new settings.
The "local" search domain signifies to local hosts that are running
mDNS (bonjour or avahi) that mDNS is to be used to look up local hosts
instead of doing a normal DNS query to the server listed in
/etc/resolv.conf on the local host.
Also, hosts running bonjour or avahi can not ping or reach *any* other
host by name if it is not running some mDNS implementation.
Essentially, if DHCP tells the local host that it's search domain is
"local" then hosts running mDNS will not query the pfsense DNS server
for any local lan DNS lookups.

Quote from above link:
"To indicate that the name should be looked up using local multicast
instead of a standard DNS query, all Bonjour host names end with the
extension ".local."
*some* username and password, so defaults are set if user enters nothing.
Removed interface_ppp_configure call from interfaces_ppp_edit.php. It was
useless there with the new structure, and it caused all PPP links to attempt
to connect when user presses "Save" even before they are assigned to LAN/WAN, etc.
Also, fix up pfsense-utils.inc and status_interfaces.php
to display more info on status_interfaces.php.
Changed util.inc to allow cua* interfaces to be recognized as real interfaces as
pfSense got "interface mismatch" at boot and forced user to reassign. Maybe someone
else has a better way to do this.
