I don't have FC2t1 handy at the moment, but on RHEL 3 I believe that you can
set the following options in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files:
PEERDNS=no (/etc/resolv.conf)
PEERNTP=no (/etc/ntp.conf, /etc/ntp/step-tickers)
PEERNIS=no (/etc/yp.conf)
If set to no, then those files won't get modified even if appropriate
DHCP options are sent. See /sbin/dhclient-script for details.
