I am completely aware of that, thanks. So how much would it have cost you to try my test?

do this.. clear the log with the clear button, then go and try and remove the rootsh, then check the log.

Much cleaner.

another way to gain a root shell is to install openssh (server and client).it asks for a (new) root password to setup.

after that you can

ssh root@localhost

from terminal and make all needed root tasks.
