:) yep, I've run SuSE since 7.0-Pro, when Mandrake begin to implode. On
openSuSE you can also configure /etc/pam.d/su to allow member of the wheel
group to su without a password -- that comes in hand for me (since I'm the
only member of wheel) You can add:

auth     sufficient     pam_rootok.so
auth     sufficient     pam_wheel.so trust use_uid

Take effect immediately (presuming you are a member of wheel -- which in 15.0
or 15.1 opensuse no longer creates by default unless a server install is
selected -- just create it manually, and I gave it the traditional GID of 10,
but in 15.0 it has a random GID.
