Hi Everyone Im A Newb here -- I was trying to edit the conf files for monkey which are in /root/monkey-0.6.3/conf/
So i figured i needed to be in root so i did the "sudo su" command -
opened up Nedit open the file and its read only -- i cant edit it---- can anyone help Please --- Files that i was trying to edit where /root/monkey-0.6.3/conf/monkey.conf --/root/monkey-0.6.3/htdocs/allwhich version of DSL are your running?
if the file appears read only, you could type (as root):
chmod 666 /root/monkey-0.6.3/conf/monkey.conf
to make it editable. (don't eat it! )
then try nedit.
CappyTHX Cappy --- The version that im running is pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/damnsmall-0.5_download_this_one.iso is that one ,, LOL----------- i went ahead and chmod the files and it works - what would be the chmod # to put it back to read only?
-----NUMBERS----- 1st is the owner 2nd is group 3rd is everyone
So please use #chmod 444 Sorry if this is obvious to people with more experience, but is there any good reason that /opt/monkey/htdocs and /opt/monkey/htdocs/index.html belong to user root and not to user damnsmall?
