IPv6 setup script ... doesn't work!!

[Fafa Diliha Romanova]

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=1
     /usr/sbin/rtadvd lnc0
     if [ $? = "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=0
     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 [ $? = "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,
