Very often on SuSE you have a choice of managing via Yast or of editing configuration files by hand and it is important the two mechanisms do not fight each other. However, on the specific issue of permissions I would say that relying on chmod for any distribution-provided file is always foolish and bound to lead to surprises sooner or later. So you shouldn't try to protect the foolish administrator but instead protect the sensible one who relies on the documented procedure for maintaining permissions.
