Hi
Well the directory has 777 permissions, and I mean any
user "xyz" not only "root".
But the point is that as the file is readonly how is
vi allowing to do forced write, and change the
ownership of file? Even if it allows this then
should't it be restricted to root or at most the
owner/group-members!!
The version of vi that I use is
"vim-enhanced-6.2.98-1" on a RedHat9.
