OK then, what are the permissions of the files? Mine are:
$ ls -l /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 577 Nov 26 22:59 /etc/group
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1434 Aug 9 22:50 /etc/passwd
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 957 Jan 25 1998 /etc/shadow
If this doesn't help, try something like:
$ strace -o vi.log -e file vi temp
and quit after getting the error? This will list the errors (look for
E????? symbols in the output) that vi gets accessing the files.
