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;)
