That seems to me to be the wrong move.
Instead, you have to edit the file and find the offending setting.
I did a diff between the (then) current version and the previous version, which showed nothing different that was not a comment line, so that looked like a very tough approach to troubleshooting.
The file doesn't come from any rpm, that is well known. It comes from "/usr/share/fillup-templates/sysconfig.nfs", which in turn is installed by nfs-client.rpm
YaST would edit that sysconfig file.
Given # rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/sysconfig/nfs file /etc/sysconfig/nfs is not owned by any package and dcurtisfra's response #5 in the forum thread and the non-diff diff it seemed perfectly reasonable to try eliminating it. YaST in my eyes is a convenience, not a requirement, so one ought to be able to find a solution without using it if desired. IIRC, if I ever used YaST to configure NFS, it would have been many many moons ago, maybe around SuSE 8.2. It's harder to learn things using the easy way, which be YaST. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
