This is really strange, Lenz. I just used yast for the first time to install urlview from the distro. When I went to send mail (I use fetchmail/procmail/sendmail), I could not send it. Sendmail could not do a host name lookup, and just deferred the mail. The resolv.conf file which was rewritten was the same. My way around this was to use the program "Install Sendmail" to automatically reconfigure the files, as I did not know what else was tampered with. Personally, I think this is bad, knowing that anytime I want to add an rpm or patch by using yast, everything will be screwed up. I think I will just use rpm -i from now on. Why have everything rewritten. I think this is a pain, and I do not remember yast doing this in 6.4. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: BREAKFAST.COM Halted - Cereal port not responding. -- Best regards, Gary -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
