RootSH removed but still giving root access?
 

I installed RootSH while messing around with applications, etc. I couldn't remove it so tried a few commands in X Terminal, then I managed to remove it from applications. But it's still giving me root when I type Sudo GainRoot in Terminal. Any ideas on where i've gone wrong and what can I do to fix this problem. I don't want rootsh and I don't want root access if it's typed in. I'm new at this so i'm still learning. :(

May have to reboot the device to completely shut it off after uninstall.

Actually you might have found bug :| From which repository you installed it? From extras or devel. Probably extras. Ain´t it then 1.5?

Someone who knows better could check this.

Yeah it was from the extras repository. Ver 1.5. I've tried restarting and it still gives me root access when I type sudo gainroot. It's not in the uninstallation list. It is however in the download lists. Can this be sorted out or am I stuck with it?

From looking at the packages in that link, it would seem that there is a bug in version 1.5. that stops you uninstalling it. I dont know what you did in xterm but you seem to have been able to remove parts of it. It might be worth upgrading or installing 1.8 from extra devels and then uninstalling normally to see if that works.

How can I do that?

Re: RootSH removed but still giving root access?
 

Looking at the .deb file, it seems like the postinst script creates a script, gainroot, that's perhaps not handled very well at uninstall?

I've installed version 1.8 from the extras-devel. I then un-installed it. But it stills gives me root access when I type sudo gainroot. Any ideas?

Re: RootSH removed but still giving root access?
 

have you got anything else that might give you root access? I think ssh does and maybe debian?

Re: RootSH removed but still giving root access?
 

No, nothing at all that gives root access. I'm really quite stumped on this one. I was wondering though, I noticed a Ver 1.4. Would that be worth trying? But how would I get that?
