That's interesting.  YAST was the 4th or 5th menu-driven administration system
I used in my career, and I liked it *precisely because* it didn't care if you
had manually edited the *actual* config files -- it read those, and that's 
what you got in the menu to edit; every other earlier such system I'd used
for that had "shadow" files with it's own data, and built the real ones.

Not YaST.

Back as far as 9.0 that was true.
