You either

A) Don't have NetworkManager installed on the other servers
(eg 'rpm -q NetworkManager' yields 'package NetworkManager is not installed')

OR

B) Don't have NetworkManager running on the other servers
(eg '/sbin/chkconfig NetworkManager --list' yields
'NetworkManager 0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off')

Thanx Robert, so it's safe to remove NetworkManager then? I have done
so, and will see if any issues arise. The only files that was removed
is:

Removing:
 NetworkManager                                  i386
            1:0.7.0-9.el5                              installed
                      3.3 M
 NetworkManager                                  x86_64
            1:0.7.0-9.el5                              installed
                      3.4 M
Removing for dependencies:
 NetworkManager-glib                             i386
            1:0.7.0-9.el5                              installed
                      154 k
 NetworkManager-glib                             x86_64
            1:0.7.0-9.el5                              installed
                      161 k

i uninstall NetworkManager as well, but i would think you have bigger
problems since it appears you have both the 64bit and 32bit versions
of software installed?

For shared libraries this is normal.  Generally NOT for programs though
-- one or the other, yes (eg 64 bit of this and 32 bit of that).

Some apps install 64-bit and 32-bit versions for ABI compatibility and plugins (or IPC). Maybe the OP had a 32-bit gnome app installed?

Firefox is a perfect example of this  (wish there were icons for both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions so one could choose which to launch).

With NetworkManager though one can only run one or the other. I believe the default for all dual arch installs is to run the 64-bit version if installed, otherwise the 32-bit version.
