[sent the below message thru the freebsd-security list with no answers, hope for more from freebsd-questions]
Recently started using vi macros. When attempting to use one which accessed the external shell, got the following message: "The ! command is not supported when the secure edit option is set." When attempting to ":set nosecure" got: "set: the secure option may not be turned off." When attempting to "set nosecure" in my .exrc file, got: set nonumber .exrc, 44: set: the secure option may not be turned off .exrc, 44: Ex command failed: pending commands discarded Looking through all the man pages, vi references, tutorials, and the the oreilly vi "bible", can't find anything... Is "set secure" a compiled in setting? >From FreeBSD vi man page: -S Run with the secure edit option set, disallowing all access to external programs. and secure [off] Turns off all access to external programs. ..william.o.yates...hackware.at.tru2life.net...tru2life.info... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
