IŽm not quite sure if YaST really doesnŽt change config files that have been manually edited. We use NIS for name resolving and user authentization. The last line in /etc/passwd has ben set by YaST to "+" but since our NIS-Server uses different shells I changed this to "+::::::/bin/bash" to get the bash when loggin in on the Linux-Box. Unfortunately YaST always changes this back to "+" when running again and does not recognize my modifications.

we fixed the problem and YaST/SuSEconfig of S.u.S.E. 5.2 won't mess up your NIS settings in /etc/passwd.
