vi saved file message from root
For almost a year a person with an account on my machine has been
getting email from root about recovering a file that was being edited
(copy below). I do not know how to stop the user from getting these
messages. There is no file (/tmp/vi.7faEP4) that the message refers to,
and so the user cannot recover it using vi. If anybody has any
suggestions about how to stop this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks,
Ric
