On this particular system, the /var and /var/tmp directories certainly
look like they do on other FreeBSD systems that don't have this
problem.

For the life of me, everything looks like it should and like it
does on other similar systems. I can even log in as me and cd to
/var/tmp with no problem. If I su to the user ID whose shell the
script was created in, however, /var/tmp is off limits which breaks
vi. The userid in question is a normal UID and should have access to
all the resources that any non-root user gets.
Thank you for any help.
