how did you do that? i cn edit the file using midnight commander, but i can't save the file as i dont know how to become root in midnight commander.. if i open xterm and become root, then open MC it still doesn't work. also i can type root in MC which gives me an xterm kind of field. but then i can't open the file... very annoying.. so how did you do it?
rootsh nano /opt/alarmed/alarmed_gui.py
rootsh vim /opt/alarmed/alarmed_gui.py
