I suppose everything but writing something like "if run with sudo, don't change .nano_history's permissions" into nano is a temporary fix (well, I don't know more about programming than this so I won't be the one who fixes this).
Unsetting historylog would probably be a cleaner way of removing the history file than doing it with a cronjob every other minute... -- Need better way of handling permissions with nano and sudo mix https://launchpad.net/bugs/72995 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
