[QUOTE="mastertag, post: 690103, member: 60879"] I am trying to edit the host file on a leapord computer. I have been able to open the file and edit the file. The issue is that it keeps telling me that I do not have rights to save the file. It does not allow me to edit the file then save it. I try to open the file using the sudo command followed by the open /private/etc/hosts It asks for a password and either tells me incorrect password, or it just goes down like I typed it in correctly but does not open the file. I have also turned on the root user and changed the password of the root user. This still tells me that I have the wrong password. The goal is to edit the hosts file and save it. [/QUOTE]
