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.

It might be worth upgrading or installing 1.8 from extra devels and then uninstalling normally to see if that works.

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?

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