Startup sequence

[Chris Miller]

Hi Folks,

I've stumbled onto what I think is a pretty good solution.

I set the following values in /etc/sysconfig/newwork-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.1.2.254
NETMASK=255.255.255.255

Reboot...
Net comes up.  Check.
dhcpd comes up. Check.

. and I added "dhclient eth0" in rc.local, which configures the port
according to my dhcpd database.

I'm pleased with the simplicity and apparent reliability.

Chris.
