--------- Received message begins Here --------- This subject brings up a question I've had for a long time. Bash appears to be the shell that I get when I log in as root or do an su command. I'm from the old school and perfer vi editing of commands, but I have yet to be able to make bash use vi as root. I've set EDITOR and FCEDIT. I've set editing-mode vi. I can't seem to get root to use anything but emacs editing mode. Is this a diabolical plot by the Linux developers to force emacs on the world? 8^)
Bash works as expected, described and designed when I'm a normal user. Can I do it? How? Thanks, Jim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim Lynch, System Engineer, SGI/Cray Research, Inc. / ARS: K4GVO Federal Business Systems, Phone: (770) 631-2254, Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suite 270, 200 Westpark Drive, Peachtree City, GA 30269
