It won't read the file and came up with the /bin/sh shell, but I can't seems to get access to the file to fix it. I can do an ls of etc and see the file but can't copy, delete, etc.. because it's ro. I made a backup of the orginal rc.conf with another name, but can't copy it over. How do I set my enviroment and give myself rights to change or cp the file?
