Hi,
I think what happens is everytime you run YAST, it checks
all the file permissions and changes them back to the
secure setting.
There is a way of telling Suseconfig what files not
to change, by editing your /etc/permissions files.

Hey, a bit of good news for all you EZPPP users,
is that the author is working on a new version
which will work from the command line also. Right now
EZPPP is limited to X. It's on the authors web page.
