I saw someone on a forum recommend that you keep your suse system configuration files informed and updated of the changes to your packages by executing these two commands as superuser AFTER doing your smart install or upgrade: # SuSEconfig and then #ldconfig NOTE: the upper/lower case syntax. I've done a lot of smart updates to suse without this additional operation and there appears to be no harm from NOT doing it. However, yast performs that system config update every time you change a configuration file so my question is whether that operation is something unique to suse and should I do it as advised to keep my system running in peak health?
