I guess you need to setup a password for "user" first.
passwd user in root
passwd user in root

Any fix for PR 1.3? It doesn't seem to be working any more. The "sed -e" complained about "unsupported command e", so I added:
to "/etc/sudoers.d/01sudo"
Did the update and clear cache, but still, it doesn't ask for a password.
Code:
Defaults targetpw user ALL = PASSWD: /usr/sbin/gainroot

OK, found it. I need to modify this:
in "/etc/sudoers"
Code:
Defaults env_keep+=GTK_MODULES user ALL = PASSWD: ALL

Another possibility:
Uninstall rootsh (or block it with chmod a-x /usr/sbin/gainroot)
Install an ssh-server
login with ssh on your own device:
ssh root@localhost
password:

become root (if you don't know how, then all this doesn't apply to you anyway)
make sure you have proper root password set!
run command:
run update-sudoers, check there's no warnings or errors
if sudo gainroot still doesn't ask for password, it might be cached from previous entering it: sudo -k clears pw cache
Tested for PR1.2 with default rootsh installed, works for me. If you bork everything, a reinstall of rootsh package should get you out of quicksand
