In regard to: [OpenIndiana-discuss] no force write by root user?,
Rolf M....:
if the root user wants to write back a file not writable as set by
permissions a force write back (wq! in vi) does not work. Is that
behavior intended? Other OSes as for instance oracle solaris, FreeBSD,
Solaris 10 and so, allow a force write back
That's not my experience on OI with vim.
Are you sure it's not something like NFS or something else causing that?
this behavior surprided me upon editing /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources. I wanted
to have a localized xdm login logo.
retried the behavior as follows:
touch textfile
chmod 444 textfile
vi textfile
doing a :wq! I get:
E504: "noway" is read-only (cannot override: "W" in 'cpoptions')
Press ENTER or type command to continue
what does "W" in 'cpoptions' mean? Is that a setup probem with
my shell? (zsh, same .zshrc as on FreeBSD and Oracle Solaris)
with modified PATH setup...
ok, found it. It is the typical vim incompatibility. cpoptions is
a vim feature, sort of. Fixing that restores behavior as on other
plattforms. Since I do not have any vim stuff in my setup, this
must be a systems default. lets see what I am faster on, digging
into cim or compiling real vi:)
