Why don't you just run "dhclient eth0"? Or, if you're a redhatter, in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
ONBOOT="yes"

or, for debianists, /etc/network/interfaces:

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Then you just run "ifup eth0"

Authentication: that's another issue...

Although for something as simple as your "oh", that's what aliases are for:

alias oh="echo \"Oh my god\""

Try your middle button, if you have one, otherwise both buttons at once, if
you have emulate3buttons turned on (in your XF86config, under Pointers, the
line is Emulate3Buttons).
