While it's good practice to run SuSEconfig each time you change /etc/rc.config,
in the cases where you change a "start_xxx" to yes or no, you don't have to
run it. All of the init scripts provided by SuSE are started on boot, at
which time they directly source /etc/rc.config and decide whether they should
keep running or exit based on their corresponding "start" variable in that
file (or if they were started directly in versions after 6.0). The symlinks
for the init scripts are all created at install time.
