Hiya, thanks again, there's no .vimrc file at all.
:set gives :set --- Options --- backspace=2 history=50 scroll=11 ttyfast fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1 Hit ENTER or type command to continue
This is exactly the same as in crontab -e (thats what I use to edit anyway though, so assume it just calls vim), it was also the same problem in nano when I tried after you mentioned that.
Thanks, Ian

Hiya, thanks a lot for that Will (sorry spelt name wrong before!), think you're reply has almost got there...
If I dos2unix the file it works, if I use vi/m (what I normally use) or
nano
etc, it doesn't work (but will if I then dos2unix it again)?
SELinux I think is on permissive/targeted (I'm not too familiar with
selinux
as someone else set it up, but my understanding is that it should allow
all,
but log/audit it?).
Looks like thats it, but not sure still why its not saving it correctly?
Sounds like vi/vim's doing something weird to the file on write/save. Have you any user specific initialisation in the user whose crontab you're editing's $HOME? i.e. If you're setting up the crontab for logadmin, whilst logged in *as* logadmin, is there a $HOME/.vimrc file or similar?
If you just run vi/vim without passing it any files to edit then do
:set
... what does that result it? On a vanilla system here with vim-enhanced installed and no customisations, running vi I get...

Compare that to what you get by default and what you get when you run crontab -e. If I run crontab -e then examine vi's environment it's just...
