Description

Full daemon restart is useless since mpd reads mpd.secret on the fly (as I can uderstand from mpd4's code). One problem with this restart is that Quagga OSPF don't like to see mpd deleting ang creating L2TP interfaces. After mpd restart in Quagga status I can see both l2tpXXX anf ngXX interfaces. Quagga restart solves problem.

Quagga OSPF status after mpd restart (both l2tpXXX ang ngXXX interfaces):

l2tp0 is down
  ifindex 0, MTU 1500 bytes, BW 0 Kbit <POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>

This PR moves creation of the mpd.secret file to a separate function that does not restart mpd daemon:

If this works, we should also change the PPPoE server to behave the same way. That should be a separate Redmine issue + PR, though.
