Yes, it should not be installed for servers. NetworkManager is really
only useful in a desktop context, and is mostly targetted at laptops
where the user is mobile. At this point, it doesn't really make sense
for server environments, though that capability may well creep in at
future points.
So if bind is turned off... then how is NetworkManager doing lookups?
And why cant nscd be 'fixed' to do these?
Sorry I just dont like having a bind server on boxes that arent DNS
servers.. you deal with one BIND exploit and it taints you :). It also
seems to be heading towards everyone needing 1 gig of ram and a 3 ghz
dekstop to even run effectively.
