services cross-talk

[Andy Hocker]

Hi,

I wanted to have networking disabled by default and then
just start it by hand when I need it, so I did this:

chkconfig --del network

I rebooted and it didn't try to start lo or eth0 (good), but it
tried and failed to start pmud (bad).  After logging in I did:

service pmud status

and got a message like "pmud dead but (something) is locked."
Can't remember what the "something" was.  When I added
networking back in and rebooted, pmud worked again.

I can't understand why these two things are coupled....
any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy
