I've decided to try and wean myself off ee and move to vi. I have two boxes, both running 4.7-RELEASE-p1. On one, I tried the following logged on with normal user privileges: blacklamb> vi practice ex/vi: Error: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied A google search on this error suggests that permissions are not set correctly on /var/tmp and /var/tmp/vi.recover so I check them and they appear to be OK. blacklamb# ls -ld /var/tmp drwxrwxrwt 3 root wheel 512 Nov 13 08:45 /var/tmp blacklamb# ls -ld /var/tmp/vi.recover drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 512 Nov 10 12:22 /var/tmp/vi.recover So I check my other system and the permissions are the same, yet I can use vi logged on with normal privledges. Any ideas on what is wrong here? Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
