How do I keep second net.interface down?

I have a 2100 running DU 4.0D. This system has DECnet/OSI installed.
Physically, the system has two network interfaces (ln0 and tu0). I am only
using tu0; ln0 is not connected to anything. Every time the system boots
(whether I like it or not), ln0 comes up.

I checked out the configuration using the netconfig GUI tool; it claims ln0
is deconfigured. I checked out the rc.config file; it only mentions tu0. Yet
ifconfig reports ln0 as being up and because it isn't connected to anything,
it generates scads of "no carrier" error messages. Doing an "ifconfig ln0
down" shuts it up (until the next reboot at least), but I'd like to keep ln0
offline--permanently.

Can anyone advise me how to keep ln0 from coming up?

Thanks for your help,
Jon
