I'm usually running FC2, but also have FC5, and FC6 on this machine. I have

the odd question from the list, and just being able to post a few lines from
a file is usefull.
As pointed out by the other poster, those files require root access for
reading (as well as writing). One reason being that they can contain
passwords, or other data that must be keep secret from ordinary users.
To become root, type into a console: su -
Then issue commands from that console (e.g. start up a text reader, in
there).
