This was discussed previously soon after CentOS 5.0 was released. The
upstream distribution changed root from using vim (with syntax
highlighting) to using vi. With the 4.X versions root was using vim.
The 5.X configuration is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# which vi
/bin/vi
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# which vi
vi: aliased to vim
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# which vim
/usr/bin/vim
In theory, programs in /bin are statically linked, so they work even
when you have library issues going on. Anyway, just use the vim command
explicitly or add alias vi=vim to your ~root/.profile
