    Hi!
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    I'm not able to unlock refind.conf. I tried unlocking from terminal, but that didn't do it.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks!

      The refind.conf file should be read/write; however, you may need root
      privileges to edit it. You can do this by preceding a command with
      "sudo," as in:

      sudo emacs refind.conf

      Alternatively, you can use chown and chmod to adjust ownership and/or
      permissions:

    Thank you! That did the trick!
    However, for some reason chown and chmod didn't do it. I had to modify it in emacs as you said, and delete the original.
