Depending on details you have not provided, you may not be able to change
this (for example, if the filesystem is on a read-only medium like a CD).
And you probably realize that you have to be root for this sort of thing.
If you can change it, the mechanism you use is the "mount" command.
Assuming that /etc/rc.d is part of the root (/) filesystem, you would use
(approximately - I didn't actually try this, so watch for small errors)
this command:
mount -n -o remount.rw /
Check "man mount" for the details behind this, and look at whatever init
script your system uses to fsck filesystems for examples of this usage.
