Where can a daemon be respawned from?  I don't see a inittab file.

Do I just need to create one, or does FreeBSD use something else?

I am trying to use pppd and as soon as the line disconnects, the daemon 
dies and does not restart itself.  I set it to restart itself on exit, 
but it login fails, it still dies and does not run the ip-down file.

TIA.
