I've tried this experiment: 1. $ sudo vim /var/www/htdocs/robots.txt robots.txt is owned by www-data:www-data 2. made some changes in the robots.txt and ":wq" 3. $ sudo ls -la /root/.vim/undofiles/%var%www%htdocs%robots.txt -rw-r----- 1 root www-data 2234 Sep 7 14:43 /root/.vim/undofiles/%var%www%htdocs%robots.txt as you can see the undo file of robots.txt owned by root:www-data now 4. sudo chown cac2s.cac2s /root/.vim/undofiles/%var%www%htdocs%robots.txt "cac2s.cac2s" is chosen only as an example $ sudo ls -la /root/.vim/undofiles/%var%www%htdocs%robots.txt -rw-r----- 1 cac2s cac2s 2234 Sep 7 14:43 /root/.vim/undofiles/%var%www%htdocs%robots.txt 5. made some changes in the robots.txt and ":wq" 6. $ sudo ls -la /root/.vim/undofiles/%var%www%htdocs%robots.txt -rw-r----- 1 root www-data 2234 Sep 7 14:43 /root/.vim/undofiles/%var%www%htdocs%robots.txt the undo file of robots.txt owned by root:www-data again! not by cac2s:cac2s as it was set in step 4. this experiment suggests that vim himself sets the owner of undo file, using the fact that it is running as root. so maybe correctly set the owner of undo file the same as that of the file being edited, knowing that vim running as root, which guarantees the continued use of the file changes for an undo/redo actions? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
