Issue

• Why does kickstarted RHEL6.5 machine's /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contain NM_CONTROLLED="yes" even in absence of NetworkManager ?
• Kickstarted a machine with RHEL6.5 DVD iso. Kickstart's %packages section is as follows.

%packages 
@base
-kexec-tools
-NetworkManager

• After installation, the file is as follows.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
HWADDR="52:54:00:0D:DB:10"
IPV6INIT="yes"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
UUID="ffd8386b-64d1-448a-a707-223dc4029768"
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i NetworkManager
[root@localhost ~]# echo $?
1
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q NetworkManager
package NetworkManager is not installed
