Hi,
How can I have vi with syntax hilghting for root ? Regular users have it, but not root's.
I've seen the hidden files of a regular user home, but found nothing.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

Do "vim file" instead of "vi file". As root "vi" gets you a standard UNIX vi, "vim" gets you the enhanced vi with colors etc.

That's if vim enhanced is installed. Otherwise just install it with yum install vim

1. use vim instead of vi (vi is /bin/vi , which is usually a "tiny" vim with few features) 2. put into /root/.vim : set nocp filetype plugin on syn on

In /etc/profile.d/vim.sh, comment out the line which contains the following: [ `//usr/bin/id -u` -le 100 ] && return
In my version, it is line 3. Logout and log back in and presto you have colors, assuming you have the proper packages installed.
Make sure you understand the implications of doing this before you do this.

And one last way if vim-enhanced is installed ...
put this in the /root/.bashrc
alias vi='vim'
