17.3.1 Changing the System Configuration
The YaST sysconfig editor provides an easy-to-use front-end to system configuration.
Without any knowledge of the actual location of the configuration variable you need
to change, you can just use the built-in search function of this module, change the value
of the configuration variable as needed, and let YaST take care of applying these
changes, updating configurations that depend on the values set in sysconfig and
restarting services.
WARNING: Modifying /etc/sysconfig/* Files Can Damage Your
Installation
Do not modify the /etc/sysconfig files if you lack previous experience
and knowledge. It could do considerable damage to your system. The files in
/etc/sysconfig include a short comment for each variable to explain what
effect they actually have.
