It's also horrifically dangerous to use "sudo vim" when "sudoedit" would do. "sudo vim" means that vim runs as root, so a malicious script, or a vim bug, could have catastrophic consequences. "sudoedit" runs vim as your user, so malicious scripts or catastrophic bugs can't result in an "rm -rf /" or worse being run. If you don't absolutely *need* to run vim as root, I'd recommend against it. And, if you *do* need to run vim as root, I'd recommend disabling all plugins, colorschemes, syntax highlighting, etc. But that's just my $0.02 - people less concerned with running an editor with a history of exploitable bugs as root are of course welcome to do so. ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
