The workaround here would be to set an alias in root's .bashrc file to use /usr/bin/vim when vi is called. As far as I know, vim is more secure than vi and should be safer to run as root.
Actually, /bin/vi *is* vim, just compiled up without lots of stuff (mouse, plugins, etc.) that might cause problems/security issues when run as root, esp. in recovery mode.
It's highly unlikely (although not impossible!) that vim is the issue. -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit
