No, not the whole machine. If you were using the service (I applied the
patches via dialin remotely so I was, the the actual service (in this
particular case pppd) does need to. In my situation, it got 'restarted'
because I only use pppd for incoming calls, thus when I logged out, it
stopped, and restarted on the next call. If you connect via dialup or
DSL maybe, you would need to restart your connection, which would stop
and start pppd. The yast update would only need restarting if you were
at that moment USING the app (i.e. it was running). A great help in
this regard is if you have fou4s, you can run "fou4s --checkdeleted",
which will list any running program using files that have changed (i.e.
updated). HTH.

Do you use DSL or dial up. Just a thought.
