Yeah  , it's very interesting that openSUSE requires root's pw by
default. Looks like sth. called Default Security.
A friend asked me howto change this behavior ,  i've totally no idea.
And finally he found these entries:

Defaults targetpw
ALL ALL = (ALL) ALL

After comment them out , it works fine.

Thanks martin.
