Fedora 15 Questions

I have been running Fedora 15 for a few weeks.  I had not used Fedora
for a long time, and have some questions about what is going
on.

1) When I reboot the system the ntpd, httpd, and sshd daemons are not
running.  I can start them easily by running the scripts in the
/etc/init.d directory.  I understand that systemd is being used and
these scripts are probably not generally used.  How to it get systemd to
include these processes at startup.

2) I can see using 'netstat -lt' that I have listening ports for
these servers (once I started them) as Foreign Address *:*.  I can 
access them locally, but I can not connect to them from my local
network.  At first I thought it had something to do with SELinux,
but I am running it in permissive mode.

3) SELinux spits out all kinds of strange denied access messages like
(looking in the audit.log) like login wanting to execute /bin/bash.  I
had to put SELinux in permissive mode in order to even login.  I tried
shutting it off, but then I could not even boot the system.  What is
going on?  The only odd thing about my system that I can think of is
that the timestamps have gotten out of wack due to ntpd not starting up
and my clock drifting into way in the future.

Thank you.
