to edit he file, example /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ... put in the following command vi /etc/fonts/fonts.conf this opens fonts.conf in the editor 'vim' by typing bash /etc/fonts/fonts.conf you are attempting to run fonts.conf as a bash script, which it is not, and does not have the execute permissions, so therefore you get a permission denied error. enjoy :) -Jon On Sat, 2002-11-30 at 20:09, David Mascot wrote: > As an example to my editing problems, > the following is a file I think I should > have access to but I can't seem to get in. > > [dmascot@localhost dmascot]$ su > Password: > [root@localhost dmascot]# /etc/fonts/fonts.conf > bash: /etc/fonts/fonts.conf: Permission denied > [root@localhost dmascot]# > > I also tried this: > > [root@localhost dmascot]# su - root > [root@localhost root]# /etc/fonts/fonts.conf > -bash: /etc/fonts/fonts.conf: Permission denied > [root@localhost root]# > > Thanks in advance for your help. > Dave > > -- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
