permission denied problem /etc/sysconfig file
 

Hi Team,

Whenever I am trying to edit /etc/services file (OS RHEL 5, VMware) I am getting error unable to edit in readonly mode and same error showing while moving it or deleting it. I had tried many solution however all in vain. below mentioned are details of the system.

1. selinux is disabled
2. full permission as I am root user
3. all the other files under /etc/ are editable and security context of /etc/services file are same as of other editable files.
4. chmod is also not working
5. editing through nano is also not working.
6. chattr -i also not working ...i.e. removing immutable bit from /etc/services file

please help me in this regards

Thanks
Anil

can any one help me to solve my problem

Is the filesystem mounted in read-only mode?
Just type
to see mount options of all mounted devices. You may have to remount it in rw mode...

EDIT:
If that's not the problem please post the "some error" mentioned in your initial post. Also specify exactly where you created the "test file"

Hello,

Just for verification

Cheers.

Thnks to all.....my problem is solved ...
