Just got a new server running Oracle Linux 6 (a derivitive of RHEL, but I'm not sure the version correlation). This is my first hands on with this verision, having worked in the past with OL 5 (as well as some older Solaris, HPUX and AIX).
Connected with putty.
When I'm editing a file in INSERT mode and paste in a several lines I've copied out of some other source (pasting from the Windows clipboard), if the pasted text includes a comment ('#') every line following will be commented and indented - and with the indent increasing on each line -- each following line indented from the previous.
Obvoiously a config issue, but I've never actually tried to do any persistent configuration for vi. After googling a bit, came to no conclusion except that I do not have the commonly reference config files - vimrc, etc.
I'm not the SA and did not actually install the machine, but I do have root access for a while.
I'm open to any pointers. Especially for exactly what to look at to compare this config to one of my other machines that behave in what I would consider a 'normal' fashion. :)
