I think in case the undo file is in same directory as the file being edited, checking who is the owner of the undo file should be done, to prevent security problems. but if all undo files are in the root's home folder, then this check may be omitted since root only has access to the /root as an option, you can add a param which will disable the comparing of ownership of the undo files, if you specified the directory for them (set undodir=...) how do you like that kind of logic? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
