今天有用户在使用某个内部工具时遇到这样一个问题：

Not owner of .exrc or .exrc is group or world writableError detected in .exrc.[Hit return to continue]

  他说这个问题只在某些server上存在，大多数server上不会遇到。上穷碧落下黄泉地在公司内部搜索了一遍，没发现有用的信息。 郁闷中想起Google，于是试了一下，结果却是大喜过望，原来这是一个常见的vi引起的问题。 有详细的解释，转载如下：   
  
   
    
     Description 
     If a user has a $HOME/.exrc file, and runs vi while su'ed to root,the error:Not owner of .exrc or .exrc is group or world writableError detected in .exrc.[Hit return to continue] 
    
    
     Work Around 
     set the EXINIT environment variable.  Please search the vi man pages for "EXINIT" for infomation on this.Here's is what I added to my .cshrc file:setenv EXINIT 'set tabstop=4 wrapscan nomesg | map @4 :set tabstop=4^M |map @8 :set tabstop=8^M | map @L :set list^M | map @l :set nolist^M |map @n :w/!^M:n^M | map @N :n^M | map @r :w/!^M:rewind^M|map @R:rewind/!^M |map @W :w/!^M^Z | map @D Oopen(DB,">>/tmp/dbgdrc");^Mprint DB"/n";^Mclose(DB);^['NOTES:1) ^M is a ctrl-M (entered as ctrl-v ctrl-m) and ^[ is an escapecharacter (ctrl-v Esc).2) The '!' has to be escaped with the backslash to prevent it beinginterpreted by the shell.3) Everything between the single quotes is on a single line. It isbroken here for readability.4) Rename/delete the .exrc file or you'll get the same error as before. xxxxx@xxxxx.com 2004-12-10 23:57:36 GMT
