how can I run something as root (modprobe, to be exact) every time computer starts.
I have the root password for my box, but I'm ignorant.
So, every time I start my computer, I have to run this command
Code:
/sbin/modprobe fuse
as su, so that I can do other stuff (like mount remote directories locally using sshfs)
I guess there's some file, like .bashrc, only it's applicable for everybody, and it has root powers, which I could modify so that I don't have to do this manually every time I boot up.

If you need to execute whatever when your system boots (as root), just create an script in, for example, /etc/init.d and then use yast2 to configure when (run level) it should be run.
