Actually the correct syntax is "yast2 sysconfig details variable=CONFIG_TYPE$/etc/sysconfig/mail". You need to provide the file name instead of logical path.

I'll improve the help text so it is better documented.

Comment 2 Ladislav Slezák 2011-07-27 12:59:03 UTC

The help text has been improved in yast2-sysconfig-2.21.0.
