All,
it would appear that the maemo app rootsh is confusingly misnamed the
same as the standard rootsh command. I noticed while using it on the
N800 via ssh that it does not require me to enter a password and
nonetheless it provides root privileges after I first log in as a
non-root user. My understanding of the standard rootsh command is that,
in order to get a root shell with rootsh, the user must invoke rootsh
using sudo.
Is it possible that the implementation of maemo rootsh incorporates a
sudo command?
I guess that the author
meant it when he asserted "Get root easily"!
Here is the url to the www page at the maemo www site for this maemo
command:
