`# chmod 644 /etc/hosts --verbose
mode of '/etc/hosts' retained as 0644 (rw-r--r--)
chown root. etc/hosts --verbose
chown: cannot access 'etc/hosts': No such file or directory
failed to change ownership of 'etc/hosts' to root:root
Both failed. File remains read-only when opened manually. Executed as sudo su. Thank you though.
