I need to ask a question here, to ensure that I not screw the operation up. I have visited the above URL and see that it returns a few lines resembling the content of other files in the target directory. Trying to save it to that directory, however, gets this response:

Pretty much anything you wish to change directly yourself, as opposed to using some tool like YaST2, in the /etc tree, needs to be done by root or sudo. So it means "permissions" and not something else. That's the answer to
