Make this change using BBEdit
Authored by: simbalala on Jul 07, '06 08:11:06AM

For users of BBEdit this can be done much more simply. Some people are not familiar with vi (Apologies to BBEdit users who already know this.)

In BBEdit from the File menu select Open Hidden, in the Open dialog which appears, at the top choose Enable: All Files, not Readable Files.

Negotiate your way to the files described in the hint and open them. Notice in the BBEdit menu bar at the top left the pencil icon with a red slash through it. Click that icon and you'll be told the file is owned by root and asked if you're sure you want to edit it. Click yes.

You can then make the changes described and save your results.
