Anyone want to weigh in on this?  At the very least, it would be nice if the 
check also accepted the value of "none", and possibly the guidance should 
recommend this setting.

Subject: Disable DHCP client (UNCLASSIFIED)

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

The Disable DHCP client check specifies that the value of BOOTPROTO should be 
"static".  However, this doesn't list "static" as an option:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html

Should the check be for "none" instead?

[Aside: I thought this might be a carryover from RHEL5, but the RHEL5 
deployment guide lists the same options:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html#s2-networkscripts-interfaces-eth0

However, all the RHEL5 clients I've checked have had it set to "static", 
whereas the RHEL6 clients I've checked have it set to "none".  Is setting it to 
anything other than "bootp" or "dhcp" the equivalent of setting it to "none"?  
Not that I'm arguing the check should go in that direction...just wondering how 
we got here.]
