Strange.... I've never had a problem with SuSE in this regard...  in fact just 
the opposite.   If it finds I've made a change to a config file, it will 
usually make up it's own file and rename it to something else and tell me 
about it...  Such as:   sendmail.cf.SuSE  

I've never had it touch my changes....
