Hello,
HELP!
I just added an account to the BSDI box for a new assistant.
Strangness is, every time he starts vi he gets nothing but blankness,
no editore. He has to suspend then kill the task to get out. Worse
yet, it fills my /tmp directory with files that look like this:
drwxrwxrwt 2 root wheel 1024 Jul 3 13:40 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root wheel 1024 Jun 29 08:25 ..

That many was from one start of Vi. (I stubled into a few
thousand of them one morening ACK!) Any ideas? Upon further pocking
arround, it dose this on all accounts that do not have superuser
access. I must have some permisions set wrong, but what? The same
thing happens with Emacs, but no files in tmp with emacs. Any Idea at
all???
