+Miredo is an opensource Teredo IPv6 tunneling software for Linux
+and BSD operating systems. It includes functional implementations
+of all components of the Teredo specification (client, relay and
+server). It is meant to provide IPv6 connectivity even from
+behind NAT devices.
+
+This script requires a 'miredo' user/group to exist before running.
+The recommended UID/GID is 255. You can create these like so:
+ groupadd -g 255 miredo
+ useradd -u 255 -g 255 -c "Teredo IPv6 Tunneling" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false miredo
+
+Alternatively, you can fall back to default 'nobody' user by passing
+NOBODY=yes to the script. However, this is less safe.
+
+The following can be used to start/stop miredo automatically:
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.miredo ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.miredo start
+ fi
+
+/etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.miredo ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.miredo stop
+ fi
