Do I grok this aright - you set up an SL workstation to do network stuff 
in the background, i.e: dhcp renewal, ntp, wee-hours automatic security 
updates, possibly other things (overnight backups? rsync of data to 
central server?); but if no one's logged onto the console, those all just 
stop working bcs NM has shut off the network?
TUV thinks this is a good idea?! <astonish> 

It seems badly thought, if someone's not logged on overnight, no security 
updates. Or does yum rerun its wee-hours cron if someone logs in at the
console during daytime?
