Strange,
As root do the following
^^^
# chkconfig --level 345 network off
# chkconfig --list | grep network
post your result
make sure that network says off.
# chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on
# chkconfig --list | grep NetworkManager
post your result
make sure that NetworkManager says on
reboot the machine and watch the startup messages.
NetworkManager should start
ntpdate should fail
network should not start.
When the machine reboots
# service NetworkManager status
post your results
# service network status
post your results
Tony
