Again just guessing (my one test CentOS 6 system doesn't currently have snmpd installed) have a look at not only the snmpd script but also the ones that should have been started between network and snmpd. It sounds like some dependencies are missing. In particular, do your "other services" depend on $network, either directly or transitively? You might also want to experiment with 'chkconfig XXXXXX reset'. Devin
