Bug ID: 901115 Summary: yast2-network overwrites postfix configuration Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201410* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: lmb@suse.com QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: ---

Created attachment 609975 --> http://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=609975&action=edit main.cf mods caused by yast2 network

After a long time, I used yast2-network to change something in the network configuration of my node. (Changed the hostname.)

As a result, my postfix main.cf was overwritten and rendered unusuable. I'm entirely unsure why some of these parameters were touched - why would it unset mailbox_command, set mailbox_transport, unset relay_host?

Yes, this was facilitated by me having /etc/sysconfig/mail:MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG="yes" at the default value, but normally, none of the yast2 tools overwrites manually modified files silently, without even creating an in-place backup.

Especially since this looks as if unrelated parameters were touched. I might have understood rewriting "mydestination", but the other parameters make absolutely no sense.

I'm attaching the diff here - I restored the main.cf from backup.
