i am noticing that every once in a while that

I know these information is no very precise. sorry for that. Here my question: Is there a program under SUSE 7.2 that does this ? or can only root do this or one of his skripts ?

Yes ... I guess you are new to SuSE.

chkstat is a script that is probably being called by SuSEconfig.

(YaST is probably running SuSEconfig for you when you use YaST to install packages.) Solution:

a) Deactivte SuSEconfig b) Run harden_suse (especially the userrights) - Script and check, if filerights are set propperly c) change the settings in /etc/rc.config to your delight Philippe
