This isn't a big problem, but I want to know what is happening?
When I installed Wabi on SuSE, it requires me to chmod 666 on /dev/zero; in order for it to run.
That's fine.
What's unusual is whenever I start Yast, and do some system change, and Suse config starts when I exit; the mod on /dev/zero gets reset. It's no problem to do the chmod again, but why does SuSe config do this. Is it part of security?
Yes, I consider the behaviour of WABI a bug. If you want to change the permissions of /dev/zero permanently make sure you set it in /etc/permissions or set CHECK_PERMISSIONS=warn (instead of "set") in /etc/rc.config. Even better, use /etc/permissions.local to set your "local" permissions if they differ from the standard.
