The exact filename is "/root/.orbitrc".  If you create this file as 
root, BTW, then I'm guessing the chmod/chown stuff will not be 
necessary.  I just listed it for completeness in what I had done.

"sudo chmod 644 /root/.orbitrc" should work.  If that doesn't work, I'd 
guess /root/.orbitrc doesn't exist.

"sudo chown root.root /root/.orbitrc"

Hope this helps,
