which 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.

THX 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?

Code Sample
----------
|4 read |
|2 write |
|1 exec|
-----------

Just use "+"

-----NUMBERS-----
1st is the owner
2nd is group
3rd is everyone

So please use #chmod 444  :cool:

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?

Using DSL 0.6.2

Keep it simple.
