Very nice!

Also tried and works fine here, too.  Btw, some things need to be updated
accordingly:

  - dhclient is now usable (before it mangled resolv.conf and broke the totd
    hack), so I added it to the freebsd-utils package.  I haven't managed to
    integrate it with ifupdown but it's a step forward for dhcp users.

  - crosshurd shouldn't setup the totd hack anymore (I just fixed this)

  - livecd needs an update (I'll roll out one once freebsd-utils is installed).

  - Do we have any old documentation and/or TODO references to this bug?
