Feature added by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Feature #310739, revision 1 Title: Explain how to "disable" pam-config, if manual pam configuration is in place openSUSE-11.4: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Michael Calmer (mcalmer) Description: pam-config write the files /etc/pam.d/common-***-pc. If a user want to use its own configuration, he has to remove the symlink from /etc/pam.d/common-*** to the -pc files and create the common-*** file with his configuration to prevent pam-config from removing his configuration. But this is nowhere explained. It should be added to the pam-config manpage Additionally we should think about a way to prevent overwriting manual changes to the service files, if --service is used. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310739

This can be implemented without any changes to the current YaST interface: 1. Open YaST Network Configuration, Routing tab 2. Select a device from the dropdown menu for "Default IPv4 Gateway" 3. Follow the prompts to Ok/Save Actual Results: After the settings are saved and the same YaST pane is re-visited the setting is blank Expected Results: It should be possible to set what interface is used for the default gateway If a DHCP interface is selected from the default gateway dropdown menu, and the default gateway input is blank, set DHCLIENT_PRIMARY_DEVICE option for that interface. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312403
