Running any editor as root is dangerous, especially an extensible one like vim. Better to use sudoedit or sudo -e, with one of EDITOR, VISUAL or SUDO_EDITOR set to run vim; I use EDITOR='gvim -f'. Interestingly, I find sudoedit ignores a lack of write permission. Regards, John Little -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
