You need to be root to do this.
In your terminal do this:
# su -
then enter the root password, then you can cd into /etc and edit to
your hearts content...
Just be sure to do this:
service smb restart
or
service samba restart
assuming that Mint includes service like Red Hat and RH Clones do....
Otherwise, you may have to do something like this:
/etc/rc.d/rc.
or something similar. I've never used Mint, so I'm not familiar with
where they put the startup scripts, so YMMV and all that stuff.
I think samba also supports reload, so just use "reload" instead of
"restart" which should just re-read the config file and go, as opposed
to shutting the samba server down and starting it from scratch.
Cheers,
Jeff
