Hi. I'm from Ubuntu and I'm used to "sudo" to do this kind of work. Could you tell me is that good practice in OpenSolaris?
(I think you can backup the old file, then use "su" to be root, then just use "cp" to overwrite that file. After that, don't forget to use "exit" to be normal user back. Also you can you "sudo cp new_file_path old_path" to execute this piece of command. Remeber to user "su" then "visudo" to add your account to sudoers.)
