Thanks to Chris & Mike for replying but that's still not it.
I've installed SuSE from 5.2 onwards and am a great champion of the distro. I've pushed it into some multinationals (and smaller companies) in the UK and use it for Heartbeat HA, Engineering support and (currently) 13 NIS servers (ask Thorsten :-)
Now, editing /etc/sysconfig/ypbind will just set the ypclient options. I'm looking for the definitive location to edit variables. Of course I CAN edit /etc/yp.conf but I don't want it to be overwritten next time I run SuSEconfig (ala all other Suse versions). This is just an example.
SuSEconfig in 8.0 does not touch /etc/yp.conf any longer. YaST2 reads and writes this config files direct. Which allows you to edit this file and the changes will not go lost. If you only use the "ypserver" option, you can still user YaST2 later. If you use other options, the result is undefined.
