I just installed 3.2. I created a generic user for practice. I logged in as the generic user and went to edit the .shrc with vi. vi gave me the message: Permission denied: Modifications not recoveralble if session fails. There was a file mentioned as well, something like vi.recover I think. My guess is that a generic user does not have write permision where ever the recover file lives. So I either point vi to use the user's home dir or allow everyone write access to this file. Makes more sence to use the home dir. I have not done any reading on it yet, but if someone couls at least confirm my guess that would be great };) Thanks and have a nice day! -michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
