If you are, then you will in trouble soon.

Suggestion: forget about everything said on this thread and just use "root" or "sudo gainroot".
i have rootsh installed. i was able to use sudo gainroot / root and both were working and still working.
the only extra thing done here is
i set the password for root
i set the password for user.
and executed this command as suggested:
chmod u+s /bin/su
pls let me know what sort of problems i may face?
