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
