Problem with rootsh
 
Hi,
First of all sorry for my english.
Secondly I have downloaded rootsh this afternoon and did sudo gainroot but now when I do that it says it needs a password but I didnt made one, so can someone help me with that?

Try 'maemo' or 'rootme'. It's strange though, I don't think it asked me for password.

Welcome to the forum :)

How did you download it? And did you actually install it vs. downloading the install file? Did you install it via extras in the app-manager?

I found it in the application manager and from there I installed it.

Can you clarify whether it never worked or whether it stopped working?

The first time I did sudo gainroots it worked but then I closed X-terminal and then when I enter sudo gainroots it asks me for a password

just type "root" and see what it does.

sudo gainroot should work too...

It might be that something has happened to your sudoers file.
Possibly try uninstalling and re-installing, or if you're happy just using 'root' then feel free to just use that.

There is an advantage to just typing root. It will use any customizations that you do to the root profile should you do that in the future. My opinion, it is doing root for you. Stop before it's broken!

I've enabled root access to check out some things, but as it has been more than 6 years since I've used linux extensively, I wish to disable it.

Uninstalling the rootsh did not suceed. Any suggestions on how to disable root access?

I had to type "sudo gainroot" again to install using dpkg -i *.deb
It asked me for a password if I used sudo dpkg -i *.deb
