With attbi, at least, this doesn't work, as /etc/resolv.conf is
overwritten with their values anyway.

My suggestion to chmod 444 doesn't work because in /sbin/dhclient-script,
/etc/resolv.conf is first rm'ed and then written.

Nick Holland's suggestion works beautifully.

Thanks to all who chimed in.
