How would I find this out on my own? And it seems not to be correct.
At least, if /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup calls
/sbin/dhclient, it must use some indirection, as dhclient is not
mentioned in the script explicitly:

grep -i dhc /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
if [ "${BOOTPROTO}" = "bootp" -o "${BOOTPROTO}" = "dhcp" ]; then


Why does it overwrite /etc/resolv.conf when the machine is not set to
use DHCP? The IP address etc. is set statically using
/usr/bin/system-config-network.
