as far as my understanding goes once u set the root password then i should be able to login using that.
However i must admit i can still gain root access by rootsh (sudo rootgain)
But i should still be able to login y entering the root password which i set earlier.
Please help me.

hi, Thanks all for replying.
I do know abt rootsh. i have installed that.
i do get root access when i execute sudo gainroot.
but.......
i want to know if i want to set a password for root.
Below are the steps i follow :-
sudo gainoot
passwd
--- i enter password (suppose i enter the password as abcde)
- i reenter the password
till here everything works fine.
now if i close the terminal and open it and try to execute this comment
sudo su - (trying to login as root)
it prompts me to enter the password (if i enter the same password abcde)
it throws an error :-
sorry, try again.
sudo su -
su -
