    I have been been playing with Linux, via my Pi, for the last little while. I have recently installed BinkD via the get-ap command. I have a few issues.... One main one is that I want to edit the binkd.cfg file and it won't let me.

    BinkD currently runs as a service, not sure how I did that... but it's running.
    I'd like to start customizing thing.

    How do I make my cfg file editable.

    Thanx

    My guess is that your current user is lacking permissions to modify config file.
    Try using "sudo nano /path/to/config.cfg". Using sudo will give your current user root permissions to modify any file. You can use any editor instead of nano. If you are running xfce desktop, you can use mousepad editor - "sudo mousepad /path/to/confug.cfg". My personal preference is mcedit from Midnight Commander bundle. You can install it by typing "sudo apt install mc". Launching
    mc will give you a familiar Norton Commander file manager environment in the terminal, both local and remote via SSH.

    My guess is that your current user is lacking permissions
    to modify config
    file.
    Try using "sudo nano /path/to/config.cfg". Using sudo
    will give your current
    user root permissions to modify any file. You can use any
    editor instead of
    nano. If you are running xfce desktop, you can use

    mousepad /path/to/confug.cfg". My personal preference is

    install mc". Launching

    manager environment in the

    I have one other issue.... but I'll fix this one first...

    Thanx
