If you open the same file from the GUI with your favorite text editor,
when you save you should be prompted for the admin username passsword
(which is probably your regular login) and it will save.

Good morning,
I am trying to modify some protected files on my MacBook. I can go
into terminal and use
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
How can I do this from the GUI with TextEdit, is there something that
I can do to remove the need for me to authenticate to edit these files?
Also, where would I look for the executables to restart services /
stop services like apache2?
Thanks,
Everett
