how to edit and save Services file?

[woomera]

ive been trying to edit the SSH port in Services file but i get an error saying "You do not have appropriate access privileges".
tried changing the permissions and give everyone read&write but no luck.
tried "sudo open -t /etc/services" but still cant save the file.
how can i fix this?

thank you

i'm a supernoob with this sort of thing, but you are logged in as an admin right?

I edit it by going to the /etc/ folder in Finder, dragging the file to the Desktop, editing it with TextEdit, dragging it back into the /etc/ folder, type in my login password. That's what I do.

Drag a copy of the file to your desktop. Edit that file. Then drag it back to replace the one in your /etc folder, entering your admin password to allow overwriting.
