1.
I think that question was posted a month ago or so.
What I remember this SYS_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE was incorrect, so if you want
to enable remote root login, override it with putting
RC_CONFIG_0 ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE yes
in your template/yast.tcf or whatever yast.tcf your using.
2.
man init.d will give you the following:
--->
.....
To control the order of service starts and stops, the
start and stop links include a number in their link name.
The system configuration file /etc/rc.config contains most
of the variables used to configure the installed services.
These variables can easily be changed by YaST or by using
an editor. After using an editor, the script
/sbin/SuSEconfig must be called to distribute the settings
into the system.
<---
This is one reason for SuSEconfig, but there is surely more....
