I don't have access to certain files even when trying to access these fil=
es=20
using shell konsole.  I su to root but still have the error message "bash=
:=20
/etc/samba/smb.conf: Permission denied".  The only way that I can modify=20
these files is by logging out then logging back as user root.  Can't I=20
somehow change my permission to access and /or modify these files?  I wou=
ld=20
like to use the GUI to edit these files but I can't even do this if I don=
't=20
have the permission to do so.

Could someone enlighten me?
