Mario,
Thank you! I am beyond appreciation and respect to you!
I feel I also learned a lot about shell scripting while doing this.
You are truly a kind soul for letting your experience influence
my life, man. Again, thank you.
1) How would this setup look in rc.conf?
Since FreeBSD 5 is all about centralizing, they say,
I'd appreciate being able to move all my vital configuration
into one place.
2) Does this code look OK now then?
case "$1" in
start)
ifconfig gif create
ifconfig gif0 inet 213.187.181.70 213.121.24.85
ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:618:400::d5bb:b546 prefixlen 128
route add -inet6 default 'fe80::%gif0'
ifconfig lnc0 inet6 2001:618:400:6ad9:: prefixlen 64
sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=3D1
/usr/sbin/rtadvd lnc0
if [ $? =3D "0" ]; then
echo "IPv6 activated."
else
echo "IPv6 activation failed." 1>&2
exit 1
fi
;;
stop)
killall -m rtadvd
sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=3D0
ifconfig fxp0 inet6 2001:618:400:6ad9:: prefixlen 64 delete
route delete -inet6 default fe80::%gif0
ifconfig gif0 inet6 2001:618:400::d5bb:b546 prefixlen 128 delete
ifconfig gif0 delete
if [ $? =3D "0" ]; then
echo "IPv6 deactivated."
else
echo "IPv6 deactivation failed" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
;;
restart)
$0 stop
echo Pausing 5 seconds before restart ...
sleep 5
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop|restart}" 1>&2
exit 1
esac
exit 0
3) By the way, are you up for hire?
All the best,
-- Fafa
