suid root (which the hardening expects and complains about by pointing

Just for my info, is there some reason you are not using the Leap 42.3
VirtualBox RPM's?
If you mean the ones available through Yast::Software Management...
Yes. Here is the error message when I tried to run "VirtualBox &" as a
normal user (not root).
----[ error message ]----
Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=100 uid=1000 gid=100) (rc=-10)
Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.

Permission denied.
VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.
----[ end ]----
Running as root VBox does start. But without any of the guests
available; the guest data is in the user home.
