What man page would tell me what this means? How should I have known that's what I should do, if I were lacking the luxury of being told by one wiser than myself?
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
Wow, there it is. I guess I could've found it by doing a careful search of the initscripts package, which contains/owns /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, which was the only script in /etc/ that invokes /sbin/dhclient, which a comment in /etc/resolv.conf revealed to be the program that wrote it.
Just one of those things you kind of pick up as you go along and remember. Tribal knowledge if you will.
Where exactly did you attempt to look first? I'm just trying to think of where a more obvious place to look would be first. Perhaps a man page documenting all the ifcfg type settings? man ifcfg?
