TIP: NLD root password

Root trusts me !

Don't you hate it to type in the root password every time you start 'su', Redcarpet client or YaST.
Here is a little trick from the SRA (Santos Research Association)

edit /etc/pam.d/su
add the following line (as second line)

auth sufficient pam_wheel.so trust use_uid

Now start YaST and make your user member of the Wheel group
