0001-sysutils-vpnc-scripts-Fix-ps-command-invocation.patch

If a VPN client doesn't export VPNPID, vpnc-script uses a couple of ps(1)
invocations to determine the pid of the client.  The first one uses a keyword
that is unsupported on FreeBSD.  The patch fixes the script to use a supported
keyword.  This fixes an error emitted while using vpnc:

# vpnc --no-detach <redacted>
Enter password for jhb@<redacted>: 
ps: cmd: keyword not found
ps: no valid keywords; valid keywords:
ps: cmd: keyword not found
ps: no valid keywords; valid keywords:
add host ...
add net ...
VPNC started in foreground...
