[TriLUG] Slightly OT: editing /etc/hosts in Mac

Folks,

Once again back to the "Oracle."


I need to help a Mac-friend add an entry to his /etc/hosts file.

I was able to get him into a terminal, and using vi, edited the file,
but ran into permission errors when I tried to save it.

Would sudo work, or is there a "more approved" method?


Thanks,
Brian
