the real problem is when one realize he shouldn't have changed a system file, to explain YaST to do the job again. I don't know how to do :-(

I read once that YaST keep a md5sum of any (config) file, but it's very old in my mind :-(

Reminding that my mind is *really* old, look under /var/adm/SySconfig/md5 and rm the particular file. When you next run SySconfig, the md5 checksum will be regenerated and YaST/SySconfig will honor the new values as it's own :^).

note: SySconfig compares the md5 checksum to see if the file has been altered so that it does *not* make changes that disagree with the ones you have already made. If the md5 checksums agree, SySconfig does not know that you have manually edited the file.

note2: I was the one complaining that manual changes to postfix did not persist even after removing the md5 checksum as described above. I believe that I filed a bugzilla after being told that this could not happen, BUT the old memory I have doesn't present the dates and numbers :^(.

*this* should be engraved in gold!! thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
