What did I missed?

[babeo]

Hello

Could someone tell me what I did wrong or miss something please?
I log in as root and modify the .profile :
set EDITOR=vi
export EDITOR
set TERM=vt220
export TERM

Then after that I log in as another user to use vi, but I still can not use the Term as vt220, but instead it substitutes with the server name (TERM=ServerName). I have to manual reset up the env for this user again every time I log in.

How to fix it? and is it the .profile that I should change? or what other file?

Thanks

Each user normallu have their own .profile in their home directory, you will have to modify each users own.

There may be (not sure as I don't have access right now) a common .profile or profile file in the /etc directory which is the default for all users, but the settings of this will be overridden if the user has his own .profile in his home directory. You can change this common file if so needed. IBM Certified Specialist - MQSeries
