When you manually edit SuSE's rc.config (which, Liam will be glad to hear,
is going away in SuSE 8 as SuSE goes for even better LSB compliance) you can
propagate its changes by running /sbin/SuSEconfig. However, that only makes
the necessary changes to application / subsystem configuration files, based
on the values in rc.config. If you've edited values for some particular
service, you need to restart it via the scripts in /etc/init.d (or the
corresponding /sbin/rcXXXX symlinks to the scripts).
