I most certainly set that option in the *hope* it would leave it alone. And it did on two ocassions. Then it just wiped it out at some point while I was trying to install a SCSI scanner and a printer for my mum and it left me with the default blank resolv.conf as produced via YaST, so I knew it was the culprit! But I do not see the need to have this behaviour in YaST at all, I would much rather it only updated when you changed that part of it and even then that it never, under any circumstances whatsoever, removed any copy of resolv.conf. k.

Yep, I reckon this accursed 'feature' should be removed forever from YaST - it happened to me again just over the weekend, exactly as you describe... it is such a PITA to try and find out your ISP's IP address when you can't connect to the web. Sometimes YaST leaves it untouched, other times it just wipes it. It drives me mental.
There are several applications messing with resolv.conf, pppd and dhcpcd being just two of them. If you want YaST to leave it along, set RESOLVCONF to "no" in /etc/rc.config. But this does not stop the other apps to mess with it...
