Also, in my specific case, I would have to avoid adding other classes.
To clarify why it should be like so: my study area is a mountainuous area in
North-West Italy. I masked features such as water bodies, snow, glaciers,
vegetation, and so on, to obtain a map of bare soil only. Now, in this
unmasked area, some rock glaciers (i.e. glaciers that are "buried" in the
ground) are present. I have their locations in form of polygons, and now I
want to use these outlines as my region of interests (ROIs) for the
Supervised Classification with i.maxlik on the RGB composed by 1) the
elvation map, 2) the band4 of Landsat ETM+, and 3) the cumulative solar
radiation map.
The aim is to classify the pixels in the unmasked area out of the rock
glacier outlines which are similar to the rock glaciers with the maximum
likelihood algorithm, according to the three mentioned RGB band values. *As
I don't know what is around the rock glaciers, I am not able to specify
other classes unfortunately.*
So, is there a way I can do a Supervised with only one class in GRASS? Would
you suggest another software (better if open source)?


A maximum likelihood classifier (and most classifiers actually) will classify each pixel in the class for which the likelihood that it belongs to that particular class is highest. If you only have one class, this class will always be the likeliest.

The only option would be to use the reject map, and decide on a threshold there. But apparently you've tried that without success.

Can't you visually identify areas for which you know that they are not rock glaciers ?
