Maybe, but I see it a bit different: a tool run as root must be extra-extra cautious about what it does and where it writes to. It's simply a no-go to overwrite files owner by a regular user. The problem or solution may well be somewhere else, of course.
However, I'd expect a YaST maintainer at least to analyze what's going wrong - maybe it's only a local issue or strange/unexpected usage.
They don't need to analyze anything. This is known, documented, and working as intended. It is standard unix/linux behaviour. Again, *you* are telling YaST to write everything under /home/user/ directory. YaST does nothing but obey your orders. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
