Newbie needs help editing the netconf file...

[Jeff Thomas_1]

Hi.

I go into vi to edit my netconf file to add a gateway, and every time I try to save it it tells me it is a read only file. How do I correct this?

Thanks!!!

Hi Jeff:

As root, edit the file. Then, instead of a simple "wq" [write/quit], do a "wq!" [write/quit/bang]. This will force the write, overriding the readonly permissions.

Regards!
