Saving to /tmp (:w /tmp/fstab) fails though: It tries to open > "./tmp/fstab.tmp" (note the leading dot). Saves to absolute paths should now work. The current approach is to save the file to "filename~" then rename(2)-it to its final destination. There is still some work left to be done to make sure data is not visible to unauthorized eyes. The file permissions / ownership should be restored if possible. Symlinks are currently not handled correctly (i.e. they are broken after a save) etc. -- Marc André Tanner >< http://www.brain-dump.org/ >< GPG key: CF7D56C0
