    After installing FreeBSD without a /var or /tmp
directory and adding them using the information in
Greg Lehey's excellent book I am now getting
permission denied: cannot access vi.recover session
not recoverable when I try to use vi as a user.  I
don't get this when running as su.  I also get a
permission denied for a /tmp directory.  I have set
both /var/tmp and /tmp chmod +t to add the sticky bit.
 Still no luck though.  Am I missing something obvious?
