vi question

    Hallo,
    I have installed 5.1a on 3 of our machines. We use NIS and automount to
mount
    the user home directories. I Have noticed a peculiar problem with vi
editor on these
    machines. I can create new files in home directory with vi editor
without problems. But I cannot
    reedit these files with vi editor. When I start vi on an existing file
the
     system waits waits an waits without opening it. I can write <ctrl> C
and then
    I get a blank editor window. When I write :r filename in vi command mode
, the system waits again without
    opening the file.

    I can do any vi operation on machine local file systems. I cannot do it
on NIS+NFS mounted FS systems.
    (home directory). I can execute the command on NFS(without
automount+NIS) FS.

    I can work with other editors like edt, nedit etc. without any problems.

    Thanks in advance,
     Kumar
