The runlevel editor in yast is dangerous. I was trying to add a script to
init level 5.This  script was running and I wanted to automate it.
 It seems that Yast tries exercises the script, especially the 'kill' side
(!)  before creating the symlinks. It brought a daemon down without my
knowledge. There was a production outage as a result.

I also noticed that when you change network settings, Yast sometimes
brings down the network and does not bring it back up.

IMHO, Yast must inform the user as to what it is doing and ask for
confirmation. Also it needs to be made more robust.
