Re-enabling NetworkManager requires the root password.  If someone can 
turn it back on with 'chkconfig' or another service management tool, 
they can also re-install it.

You may feel that it is worth the effort to remove NetworkManager 
entirely, but I think most people will agree that there's no need to do so.

File a bug with the "initscripts" component.  That setting *should* be 
documented in /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt, but isn't.
