Congratulations.

When I ran without dhclient, it appeared @home would stop routing to me
when my lease expired.  If you suddenly lose your connectivity, you might
need to use dhclient.

:bash-2.05# ps alx|grep dhclient|grep -v grep
:    0    68    1   0   2  0 1144  704 select   Is   ?? 0:11.08 /sbin/dhclient

704k + BPF in kernel.  It's not that much fat is it?
