Hello, i have a little problem on OS5. On CentOS4 vi an vim are the same programs. On 5 vi have no syntax highlighting while vim have it.
Whats wrong?
Greetings, Sebastian
In CentOS 4, by default vi is aliased to vim. The unaliased vi does not have syntax highlighting.
Could it be that vi is not aliased to vim by default in CentOS 5? Run the 'alias' command to see a list of aliases. If you want to alias vi to vim, just run: alias vi=vim

I believe that root is the only user where this happens ...
