How to find out which interfaces use dhcp?

Hello all,

This may be a very basic question but I was wondering if there is a way through the command line to find out which interfaces are using dhcp. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 in case that makes a difference.

Thank you in advance.

For Debian family of distros

Code:

cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep dhcp

For Redhat family of distros

Code:

find /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ -name "ifcfg-*" | xargs grep -i dhcp

Re RH soln;

grep -i dhcp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg*

would be simpler

You can see the ip address with ifconfig, you can't see what defined the ip address without looking at the config file. (AFAIK)
