OOTPROTO=none

What is this OOTPROTO thing? You are missing the B that makes it BOOTPROTO, and I have no idea what none is supposed to do, static and dhcp are the 2 common arguments there.

Hi, Gene.

I ranted about this a couple years back. The documentation is explicit; however, static is so widely misused that it is now tested for and set to none. Static is not a boot protocol period punto final.

Here's the thread (you may notice a few recognizable denizens;)

About half way down look for "The Official RedHat Linux Reference Guide Chapter 12. Network Scripts"
