Well, as I can't read my man pages (gdbm fatal: read error) I can't look it
up. I think F is Freshen. Some of us have tried all kinds of options, and
we have our habits. Maybe F's fine, but sometimes you try something neat,
and it all comes falling down.

Suse and some other distros have made a meta-layer, which is used to
configure the system. Unices are so complex that this is how Yast keeps
track of what's going on, and Suseconfig makes other changes that are proper
when you adjust something.
Suseconfig is run after every Yast modification, and you should run it
whenever you make changes by hand, to make the whole system contiguous.
In 7.3 its core file is /etc/rc.config but use of that was minimised in 8, to
bring to LSB.

Non-functionality and/or subtle, queer behaviour.
