It's called "dhclient", so searching for "dhcp" won't give you a hit on
that.

chkconfig for dhclient too, and see what that results.

Also, look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

It's possible to have addresses "statically" assigned via DHCP based on
MAC addresses. If resolv.conf is getting populated by dhclient, then
I'm guessing the odds of you having a dhcp server on your network is
good. :)

In all likelihood, you have a static IP assigned in your ifcfg-eth0,
and the resolv.conf is being over-written by dhclient.
