Hi,
I have a problem with color syntaxing not working under vim only with the
root user.
Autoindent/smartindent is also not working under root only
.vimrc of both root and normal user :
set nocompatible
set bs=2
set expandtab
syntax on
set tabstop=2
set autoindent
set smartindent
set shiftwidth=2
set ruler
set showmatch
set encoding=latin9
set fileencodings=latin9
TERM=linux for both
With the user : color syntax and indent is working
With root : color syntax and indent is not working
What is strange is that my 2 chars tab is working under root...
I'm running FC4 i386 updated.
[root@tux ~]# rpm -qa "vim*"
vim-minimal-6.3.086-0.fc4
vim-enhanced-6.3.086-0.fc4
vim-common-6.3.086-0.fc4
Using "strace vim" under root shows that vim reads the .vimrc without
problem.
Any idea about this problem ?

Constantin,
Are you certain your path for root and user are letting you get to the
same version of VIM?
If you have not found a solution, you might consider visiting this URL
http://www.vim.org/community.php and subscribing to the VIM mailing
list. It's at least as helpful as this one and more likely to help you
solve a VIM specific issue.
One peculiarity I found was that as any normal user, you can just type
vi and a file name and syntax highlighting is on automatically. With
root, you have to type vim. I don't know why this is, but I'm just
passing on what I've figured out.
Hope that helps,
Justin Willmert
