[...] Er, unable to type the settings in what way? Please provide us with details of what you have tried. You probably need to have super-user privileges to write to that file, in which case you should use sudo, e.g., sudo your_editor /etc/rfcomm.conf Replace your_editor with the editor of your choice, and /etc/rfcomm.conf with the actual file location.
