    locked files/ can you force them open? how?

    To the list;
    I find locked files in KNOPPIX and I want to open them. I am in root ( I think ) , in a shell or console and I cannot open locked files.

    any ideas?

    finder

    Hi,

    go to a console and type
    Code:
    whoami
    . If you are not yet root, type
    Code:
    sudo su
    in order to become root. Verify it again by typing
    Code:
    whoami
    .

    Then, to view a file, simply do:
    Code:
    cat /path/to/myfile
    where you replace /path/to/myfile with the name of the file you want to see.

    It could be that the permissions are wrong. If that is the case, you can do
    Code:
    chmod 700 /path/to/myfile
    in order to give root full access (and deny it to others).

    Greetings,
