Thats always been my understanding as well. In the spins kickstarts, we
have: 

services --enabled=NetworkManager --disabled=network,sshd

I don't know if that broke in Alpha/Beta, but it's always been this way
on past live media. Perhaps we should revisit it thought... enable it,
but make sure premitemptypasswords is set for sshd (which it should be
by default).
