      Hi all,

      I made a mistake with the edit file command.

      I'm trying to rectify with ee.

      I've run /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw but still get 'unable to create file "/etc/inc/filter.inc" when trying to save changes.

      What am I missing?

      Any help appreciated.

        What exactly are you tryin to do? By that, I mean what are you trying to achieve - not what are you doing to achieve whatever it may be that you're trying to achieve.

          I put a character in the wrong place in the file, and now I need to remove it. ee won't let me save the file (!?)

          That's my immediate problem.

          Overall, I'm trying to solve an issue around bogon networks specific to my setup. I have changed some configuration around what subnets I am using, and I was in the middle of changing some configuration to test the changes I made, and I found that the console won't allow me to edit the file.

          Any help appreciated. I currently cannot log in to my box via the WebGUI. This is a problem.

            I was not logged in as the 'admin' user. I was logged in as an admin user, but not the admin user.

            Solved.
