That's what it ought to be, yes. Unless I have used YaST to configure postfix, the postfix config should be left to me. The postfix startup service unit should not touch main.cf when it isn't supposed to, in particular not when I've edited it.
istr: used to be an md5 for postfix config maybe under /var/adm whose presence stopped system/yast from making changes. existance of the md5 file indicated user editing of the config.
Yes, but either postfix was an exception, or those md5 files were created by SuSEconfig, and this script has disappeared. cer@minas-tirith:~> l /var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5/etc/postfix/ total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 1 2010 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jan 11 2014 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36 Jul 1 2010 main.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36 Jul 1 2010 master.cf cer@minas-tirith:~> Notice how old they are; I think they are from the initial config when I bought the computer. The absence of the file, or that the md5 did not match, indicated manual configuration, I understand. SuSEconfig would create those checksums. The logic is rather complex, though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
